Various shots of start of race and race in progress with cut-ins of crowds. Two cars collide on the north-east turn, another goes over the wall. One car overturns and burst into flames, onrushing cars crash into 15 car pile up. The track is littered with smouldering and battered cars. Race is slowed down whilst attendants clear away the debris. Car passing camera at 150 miles per hour. Winner coming up to finishing line. Top shot of crowds. LS winning car. LS cameramen.
