A sad photo. Sam Weiss (in white sweater) was killed in a
crash at Turn 4 shortly after this photo was taken. The car is the
2-liter Cooper Monaco driven to 6th place at the "L.A. Examiner Grand
Prix" at Riverside by Jack
Brabham on April 3, 1960.
The car was later campaigned very successfully in Northern California
by George
Grinzewitsch, and later by Bart
Martin with Chevy power. |
