Seconded! :)
[IMG] saacha, La Jamais Contente seated only Le Diable Rouge!
There weren't too many Sparks engines. Art first modified an existing '220' Miller with a stroker crankshaft, and perhaps a second one, before he...
Actually, not so. I have in front of me the timing report of the '35 race, and it tells a different story: Mays started from pole and led until...
Looks like an early Duesenberg to me, but I can't place it. Notice the pit board in the background says "Marmon", so that limits the time frame...
Miller '122' rear-drive!!
You probably know this car has a bit of a history... ;)
If Bill could do it at 95, you can do it at 59, Jim! :D Get going while you can! :cool:
I realize I don't have that much on the NMCB. Dates and meetings: June 5, Mount Holly/NJ June 12, Ormstown/Quebec July 3, North Adams/MA July 5,...
Ralph Hankinson broke with the IMCA at the end of the 1925 season, and had his "circus" running under the name of National Motor Contest Board for...
Let's not fool ourselves, the Ranger was popular because it was cheap, available, and exactly twice the capacity of a regular Offy! With a good...
I don't think Malcolm Brazier ever drove a Stude up Pikes Peak. There must be other racers with the same forename out there...
Sister engine, yes, but different. The Sampson actually had two engines side by side, geared together to drive a central shaft to the...
Well, yes, that's the same drawing. It's actually the same article, copied in a 2017 magazine??? Strange world... :rolleyes:
I think I know the drawing; it's probably from a 1931 article in The Motor. If it is, then you go wrong in assuming that one roller is there to...
Good luck with your research, Dawn! Unfortunately, I can't be of much help - the only entries I have for your great uncle are his final one, and...
Hi Dawn, Just a word of warning: there were two Ray Heberts racing in the thirties, and it's easy to get confused when researching. One was a...
Before the SBC pretty much any engine was used in Sprint car racing. Very few clubs had engine regs - if it goes, anything goes!
Amilcat... :)
It's André Morel himself, GP de Provence in 1926 (March 28).
It's the C. D. "Pop" Evans car, a very famous California Big Car. The only time it raced in Texas was July 4, 1930, as one of six Californian...
Altoona, Pa.
Well, that settles it, doesn't it? Harroun is clearly ahead...
Dave has been at it for a very long time, though I haven't spoken to him in years. He's obviously not one to rush things through, but I hope we...
I'm not going to identify all of them, but the last pic appears to show the leaders in the main event: Johnnie Wood, Clay Robbins, Billy Cantrell...
Very iconic car, the old Sejnost/Fronty, made famous earlier in the decade by Herman Schurch and Billy Winn on the Eastern bullrings. The last...
I was told it is Wally Meskoski with the hammer Very interesting!! What did Wally do between 1947 and '52, do you know?
Ascot Park, California. The night races are late 1962 USAC, daytime racing probably early '63 CRA: 1) Elmer George & Don Branson 2) A. J. Foyt &...
A. L. (I assume that's Loren) McMeen ran a gold #16 Ranger in the fifties, drivers included Bill Miller of Evansville, Dick Paden of Peoria, Lee...
Yes, definitely Deb Snyder, and definitely not Parnelli Jones!
