#TBT Madera, California: 1952

Ladies away! Marion Loew on the MG Willys accelerates away from the field as Starter Torres pauses in mid-air. The winning Allard has just begun to move out.

From the days of airport courses and ladies classes in Club Racing, this photo shows a vastly different scene from modern Club events. Note the grid worker and starter on the track for the flying of the green flag.
