> The first US Gran Prix run since WW I . Financially a flop, and 
> never repeated at this track. The rear engine Cooper-Climax cars 
> are spelling the end of front engined racers; Jack Brabham 
> clinches the Driver's Championship by finishing 4th, pushing his 
> broken car across the line. Stirling Moss wins the pole with a 
> track record time, but does not finish. The race is won by the 
> youngest driver ever to do so, Bruce McLaren.
> Eight shoots following this one:
