Rudy Cleye -- Mercedes-Benz
300-SL Pebble Beach
The second photo of this car had a clear
number (#112) and made ID'ing the driver and year easy. But is the
car doing a "burnout" or has Cleye locked up the rear wheels under braking?
Interesting!!! I looked on pg.
177 of Art Evans "Pebble Beach Remembered" and found the results
of the "Cypress Point Handicap" (Race 2). Cleye is listed as a DNF
because "Oil overflow from the breather caught fire". What we're
seeing here is neither a burnout nor a lockup, but an underhood oil fire.
