 ??? There were 127 entries in 1953.  :) 71 practiced.  ;) How many cars (1) qualified, (2) started, (3) finished?  ::)
Steer clear of people with antinuclear bumper stickers pasted on their cars.

They are interested in preserving mankind, which is admirable. They are not necessarily interested in preserving you, or themselves, for that matter.

They have more important things to think about.

I think 70 cars Qualified but only 60 started,
26 cars finished, but 3 where unclassified.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.
