Sports Highlights Of 1956: Motor Mania. "Scorching speed in the Indianapolis 500-mile classic (Indy 500); motorcycle mayhem in Vienna; a muddy marathon in France." Indianapolis 500 auto race; a few crashes; the winner, Pat Flaherty, waves after the race. Motorcycle racing on muddy/dirt race course. There's a terrible (and clearly fatal) accident as two cycles skid out of control; one man smashes into a staircase and is seen no more. Horrifying. Another race outdoors, motorbikes or motorcycles on muddy, uneven ground. One wipeout. Muddy competitor apparently after the race.
