With a sigh of relief the appointment-makers fixed a time, and early last week Stassen was winging to Ike's Gettysburg farm for a friendly 20 minutes...
...take the grand prize. Ron Flockhart and Ninian Sanderson covered a total of 2,521 miles at an average 104.3 m.p.h. In second place: Britain's Peter Collins and Stirling Moss in an Aston-Martin. Only 14 out of 49 starters finished, but race officials heaved a great sigh of relief.
