Th e race was won by Au strian champions, Schneide r and Fin k. _ Th e Italian Grand Prix was hi ghli ghted by 35 star ting sidecars and a Russian pro test. Th e Russi ans protested us be cause we wer e not Europeans, but t he Italian j udges ru led in o ur favor. Probably they didn't think we were much of a threat an yway. We did man age to ge t a 12th for the day through consist ency. We 've had a num be r of mech an ical problems, like a br oken footpe g at Vesoul and a bro ken ha nd ra il in Italy . In It aly the race was won by last year's cha m p ions Grof.\g/Graber, seco nd pl ace Th ompsen/ Beavis from Great Britain and third T on Van Heu gt en/Steenbergen from Holl and.
