Yes, Mal Jones was a very good rider and an even better mech/builder. Eddie Hasha unfortunately lost his life on that trecherous Newark track dubbed the "Murderdrome" along with a few spectators and injuring countless other's including fellow rider Johnny Albright. Went too soon.

My favorite was Jim Davis.

Big Pierce model 66, 1914. Looks like a posse after the Packard girls, with a health food truck behind. No ice cream for them on the 4th!

Lou Moore, a well known auto racer from Santa Monica, CA and his assistants working on a "rocket car." The date is December 31, 1928. Lou Moore (1904-56), most known during his career for qualifying for the pole position of the 1932 Indianapolis 500. After his driving career, Moore became a legendary car owner. Moore-owned entries won Indy four times, with the final three, from 1947-1949, being the first of to-date two occasions to see three consecutive victories by an owner.

I have some other photos of this and believe they were used in a movie.....
