Roy Salvadori talks with Aston mechanic Rex Woodgate (w hat). The famour Wilkie Wilkerson leans on the fence. Salvadori was closing on Ireland near the end of the race but his engine expired.
Walt Hansgen coming in off the course on pit road in. Walt and the cooper did not do well in 1961, crashing out on lap 14.
The factory Cooper of Bruce McLaren, still using the 4 cyl engine, sits on pit row waiting to return to action.
I think the viewer will agree with Bud Hofer, the lines of the Cooper against the upstate fall colors makes a great photo.
Bonnier tries to get some quiet time in the back of the pits, but photographers got him from both sides.
Moss was constantly in demand. Here photographer Alex Lafontant (red shirt) is no doubt setting up a shot with the famous man.
Moss looks at something Denis McCluggage is pointing to. Photographer Alex Lafontant in the red shirt is not paying attention.
Hap Sharp (blue shirt w texas flag) and Roger Penske talk over their F1 cars sitting in the pits. Note Gendebien is being signaled with an old fashioned pit board.
Penske and Sharp talk over something with an interested spectator.
Gendebien explains in French how different F1 is from LeMans. Olivier was not happy with his car and was out-shown by his UDT teammate Masten Gregory all weekend.
An introspective look on Moss. A great portrait by Bud Hofer.
Another beautiful study by Bud Hofer of Dan Gurney.
