(1-7-09) From historian Ron Cummings:
"The 410S owner was Bruce Danielson from Redlands California. I believe
he was a doctor. He had previously driven a smaller Ferrari.
I believe he called his team B & B Racing.
Bob Oker drove the 410S for him at a Riverside pro race after Skipper
stepped out of the car. Unlike the Edgar 410s this car kept breaking down.
This may have discouraged Hudson."
(1-6-09) From author and historian Michael T. Lynch:
"#246 is Rose's 300S-Chevy raced by Lloyd Ruby. Re:
the Ferrari in the upper left hand corner, I can find no Ferrari entered
with a race number beginning with 2."
(1-11-09) From author and historian Willem Oosthoek:
"The blue #244 Ebb Rose Maserati in the background was his 300S.
chassis 3073. It was raced by Bob Schroeder who retired with gearbox trouble."
(1-11-09) From author and historian Andreas Dziedzic:
"I agree to Michael T. Lynch that #246 is Rose's 300S with a 5.6
Chevy V8. Lloyd Ruby finished in 5th overall and 1.BM. #245 is Ebb
Rose in his Micro-Lube 450S (4509). He didn't make it to the grid,
because of mechanical woes during the the sprint race on Saturday. There
had been a third Maser with a start number beginning with 2. #244 a Micro-Lube
300S with Bob Schroeder, he didn't finish in the Examiner GP on Sunday."
(11-8-09) More from Andy Dziedzic:
"I hope I found some interesting facts to solve an old problem.
You asked if anybody could identify the red Ferrari in the upper left corner.
Even Michael T. Lynch had no idea.
#212 could be the solution to our problem. This is Loyal Katskee
with his 121 LM (also called SuperMonza or type 446) s/n 0532 LM.
He didn't qualify for the main event, because he managed only 46th place
(1:29.06) during the practice."
(5-11-10 From Walter Beaumer:
"Willem is wrong here! (1-11-09 above) The blue/white Maserati
on the left is Lloyd Ruby`s 300S, chassis #3052. The car had the rear end
of a short-nose version of this type. The later versions of the 300S had
a lower rear section." |
