VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

“Back in the Day” – Crewmen push the Hank Green Special No. 76 roadster midget into position as a push truck comes in behind. I believe this is a Kurtis Kraft M-100 – one of only 10 produced by Frank Kurtis and his staff in California, beginning in 1956. Bob Pochinskas Collection, driver, Leroy Warriner

 

California racer Dick Trunkey driving a Maserati engine-powered entry.

 

George Lorz, and Hal Tischendorf , produced a spectacular flip in a USAC midget auto race card at Chicago Amphitheater . Lorz is shown upside down mid air after he tangled with Tischendorf

 

Bill Betteridge on the left and Bob Swanson two of the top midget pilots at Gilmore Stadium who will compete to win the first midget race at night at Gilmore Stadium . Bob Swanson was victorious winning the first night race at Gilmore in 1936 ! per/John Loya. Looks like a Outboard and a Offy
