By Kevin Murphy Well, this year may have been the year of the Mustang, but there were still Alfas at the Glen. The old car is a P2 or P3, I think — it took part in the vintage re-enactment, and there it was parked on Franklin Street prior to the "race". All of the actual racing (or anything close to it) took place up on the speedway this year. The darkened trailer inhabitant is, I believe, a 156 Alfetta; I’m not sure about the “Nuvolari” monoposto as I was hurrying past to get out of the rain. #31 is a Maserati 250F, and is either a sister to or the same car driven by Fangio in the 1953 F1 season. The blue Talbot Lago T-26C is said to have been owned and driven at one time by Pierre Levegh, the principal driver in the terrible LeMans accident in '55. That car was was being raced and driven now at this event.
The SZ 'Coda Tronca' and the Tipo 33 are in the paddock garage at
WGIS, waiting out one of the frequent downpours that weekend. We had
severe weather warnings, including hail and tornadoes; neither
showed, thank God. The lakefront shot is the last of the bad weather
passing over the north horizon.
