Group 4 -- Old Favorites

Some of my favorite 1950s sports/racers ran in this race.  Always great to hear the Ferrari V12 scream of the Testa Rossas. Another apocryphal factoid:  Is it true that harmonics from the timing chains are the source of the famous sound?  This would be the 12-cylinder version of running your finger around the rim of a cocktail glass.   ?????????
 

David Love of Berkeley, CA, won his event at the first Monterey Historics in 1974.  He's competed at Monterey every year since then.  Here's the history of his beautiful car, Ferrari Testa Rossa #0754.
  
Tom Price in his 1957 Maserati 200SI.  Was there ever a prettier Italian sports/racer?  This car has the 2.5 liter "kit" that Maserati provided to upgrade the cars to 250S specifications.  (I'm sure the historians will jump all over me if I'm wrong about this factoid!  TM)

Link to Steve Baughman in a 200SI in 1961.

  
Anthony Wang of New York, NY enters Turn 2 in his 1958 Ferrari 250TR #0722 leads Nick Colonna of Palos Verdes Estates, CA,in 3800cc. 1958 Lister-Jaguar "knobbly".  This pair battled throughout the race and brought their magnificient cars home 18th & 19th.
