This old photo reportedly of the start of the 1958 "Grand Prix du Julien" was
found in Julian Historical Society files. Photo taken at the noon start on April 1st, 1958, on Main Street. Reports are that Eugenio Castellotti
won in a factory 4.4 litre Ferrari with America Phil Hill second in a
750 Ferrari Monza. The Elva Engineering factory sports racers
from the UK trounced the Team Lotus "Elevens" and placed 1-2 in the prestigious
"Index of Performance" award. A Maserati 200si drriven by the Marquis de
Portago was third overall and first in the under two-litre class. At least one of these cars will appear in the 2010 Julian Classic Motoring Show.
Anyone coming up Saturday (May 22) can show their car on Main Street between 2-5 PM, then join a LeMans start as we hop in and drive the 2 miles to the winery. Reception for owners 5-7 PM. All others welcomed to join in too for $15, includes hors-d'oeuvres plus a tix to Sunday's Show. It's all for charity.
