SBR 1964 Gymkhana

Notes from Lloyd Loring, who found this film in a box at his house:

There is no sound.

Probably filmed at a "Challenge" event in September, 1964 at the Town & Country Shopping Center in Mishawaka, IN. Promo shown in old PitBoard but no issue with results readily available.  

Unknown photographer.

Note stop cone at finish and "garages" where one must stop and reverse to continue.

Note no helmets although some probably wore lap belts (usually war surplus Army Air Corps belts.)

Note proximity of spectators and course workers to competing cars.

Note lack of car numbers or class identification. There were probably no car classes.
