More pics...
Here's some pics I have from the Mines Field stock car race (last pic is of Kenny Wellens' car- he had a fatal accident during practice, a few...
Received an email asking if I had the results of these stock car races. So here you go... Elgin, IL - 8/26/1933 1) Fred Frame 2) Lou Moore 3)...
Here's pics of the action going on inside of the garage/hanger... [IMG] [IMG]
Could be, but I doubt that it is the same car. I attached a close-up of the Ford in the background, in case you'd like a closer look at it (I...
Will there be a fourth person to answer this? :p
FWIW- After these stock cars were run at the AAA sanctioned races (Elgin, Mines Field, Legion Ascot, Oakland), they were run at the lesser tracks...
No, different race - same track. The stock car race was held on Feb. 18th, the 'big car' race was held on Dec. 23rd. EDIT- see Carl beat me to...
CW posted the more common GGC program. I've seen two versions of this program. Here's the cover from the other version.
LOL... you snag this pic from ebay a year or so ago? It looks like my auction photo.[IMG] BTW... the riding mechanic is once again- John Rae.
Yes, the 1934 National Championship race that was held on Dec. 23. Looks like Ralph Hepburn and Dean du Chemin in the #31 (finished 3rd) and Al...
By the looks of it, you would think both would have been crushed. Amazingly, Gardner received only facial cuts and an injured shoulder (and I...
Thanks for posting the pics, CW. I have that GGC program and most of the pics. There are several that I haven't seen before though. A few...
Me too!... especially the years 1932-1941. Let's also hope they don't see that "MOEFUZZ" took the liberty and copied all their photos and posted...
Nice! You saved the best for last, IMO. As Michael said, "A poignant picture." Mr. Ferner- Is that Reinke in the #10, behind Triplett? Am I...
First pic is Triplett. No idea on who the drivers are/would be in the second pic. If from 1930 race, the #42 car could be the Howard Spl. Can't...
You can see the Richfield Beacon on the left....
More on the Fromm car from Bob Lawrence's site... http://winfield.50megs.com/Adams/AppleValley.htm
Wonder whatever happened to "Jiggs"? Other than this photo, never heard of him before/after. I assume it was a male dog...???
Looks like Ernie is whistling a tune.
Yes. If this was taken at Imperial, then March 5, 1933. Looks like Wilbur Shaw is on the left and Mays would be in Paul Fromm's HISSO powered...
I thought that looked like Olson and Bill White and wondered why they would be in the shot with Heisler. Didn't know White's car started the year...
[IMG] Could this be William 'Bill' Heisler with his Heisler Spl?
[IMG] Is this Ted Simpson with his Simpson Spl???
Thanks, Michael. I always spell that wrong, am never thorough.:o Here's a pic I have of Quinn and his THORObred Spl, later in the year at a...
I'll give a try... Francis Quinn and his Dayton Thoroughbred Special.
Sad to hear this. Prayers sent.
That is the 'Topper' car, from the movie Topper. It was purchased by the Gilmore Oil Co. in 1939 and fitted with sound equipment to be used at...
Just wanted to thank all of you that post in this thread and the '69 and older thread. I truly enjoy looking at the threads even though my...
Wilbur Shaw is sitting in the car. I do not see Jigger amongst the crowd.
Separate names with a comma.
