(7-18-09) From Charlie Vehle:
"The Ferrari Monza with the number 211
is John von Neumann driving. Looks like Torrey Pines."
(7-18-09) From Michael Jacobsen:
"The first six pix are all at the SCCA
Torrey Pines, 1955, #211 is Von Neumann in his Monza (which he later handed
over to Phil Hill), finished second to Shelby."
(7-21-09) From author Tony
Adriaensens:
"Taken at Torrey Pines, July 9/10 - 1955.
John von Neumann drove this Ferrari up to half way point during Sunday
main and handed the car over the Phil Hill. Hill was standing around
the von Neumann pit as all races in Europe were cancelled after the LeMans
disaster. Shelby won the race in the same Ferrari that Hill had used
to finish second in the 1954 Carrera Mexico -- here at Torrey, Hill finished
in second place." |
