1:45:06
They leave the starting grid,
going into turn one:
1:45:11
The fields stretching out now:
1:45:13
Everybody getting through
turn one very nicely:
1:45:18
Very fine field of cars here:
1:45:20
And coming through traffic now,
making a move, is Peter Thorndyke
in the number 1 4 car:
1:45:25
Picking up a few cars in that turn:
Now he comes by:::
1:45:28
and picks up three more cars,
going into the lead now:
1:45:30
Thorndyke leading this race
in car number 1 4:
1:45:35
Now making a move
is car number 53, Douglas:::
1:45:37
who also picks up about three cars
as he goes charging through traffic:::
1:45:41
and is in hot pursuit
of Thorndyke in the number 1 4 car:
1:45:45
As they go down the back straight,
cominon very hard and fast:::
1:45:48
is number 53 making the pass:
1:45:52
Atta-way,Jimmy boy!
Go,Jimmy!
1:46:00
So far,Jim Douglas seems to have
everything pretty much to himself.
1:46:04
He comes through the Ss
into turn six well in control--
1:46:24
As they come down the back straight,
Douglas is slowing down:::
1:46:27
and Thorndyke goes quickly by
into the sweeper turn:
1:46:33
It looks as though the Douglas car
is having trouble.
1:46:35
Yes, number 53 is fading fast:
1:46:38
It is developing a problem
of some kind:
1:46:49
Come in! Come in! Come in!
