I often look at this site and I'm amazed at the knowledge some of you have. I live in New Zealand, I own a couple of Studebaker's as well as a K8 Dirt Track Car that I need some help identifying. The K8 came from a car wrecking yard in Mound House Carson City Nevada about 25 years ago. The attached photo is the only one I have of the car before it came to NZ. (the other photo is as it is today) Only the ch***is, suspension and axles were sent out to NZ. I wonder if one of you might recognise the car, not much to go on I know but it would be great to find out its race history. Cheers Bruce
My dad raced Two of those kind of cars in the late 1940s into early 1950s. Mostly in southeastern New Mexico. We lost all contact with the cars , as they were loaned to the drivers to race after dad got out of racing . He called them 3/4 cars as they were larger than the midgets but smaller than the Indy champ cars.
