Is that Deer Park Ken?
The worst thing anyone can do with someone dealing stolen property is let them know that you know. Good luck Stan. Hopefully you find the guy(s)....
I know this is a sprint car thread butbit gets more traffic than the midget thread. So, who has any history on the Frank Curtis midget team? I'm...
Clark Gable Special? Not the Mike Brannan Special? What's the significance of that?
Kurtis Kraft #331: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=160509025819&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=49693202328
Thanks Tony! Is that Kurtis Indy winners poster in print?
Some people already have them. I know two were auctioned this past weekend.
I really wish I could have made it! Would have been great to meet you guys! Unfortunately I have been busy lately and had to work this past...
It's a wonderful restoration! Apparently the judges feel the same as I do ;-)
When the Johnny Thomson MacLeod car was painted white, what was the second color? Red? Maroon? Anybody have a color picture? Thanks.
Bob Miour lives here in Connecticut in Putnam. RA Silvia in Rhode Island is another good source of info.
Wow Steve that is one awesome piece! I love the work you do!
Where is his daughter living? I often wonder about the whereabouts of all our favorite drivers' offspring.
That's some fine research! Now I can't wait to see the car!
As far as I know Scott is only involved in the sprint car, not the silver crown cars. I believe the silver crown cars are just Rotondo Weirich.
That's quite speculative, don't you think? You don't know the physics involved to say whether or not that cage "should have stayed up". How many...
Most champ car cages are higher than sprint cars.
If he hit like that in a sprint car he wouldn't be alive.
Certainly an interesting point. Individual races would be different. As would a chassis change during the offseason. In the case of the Dunseth...
That's a question for Dougie or Joe!
I thought AACA, but I don't know for sure. And no, you wouldn't. If someone won a championship with chassis no.1, wrecked it, and then built...
The standard I have heard is 50% of the frame. If you have all the bolt-on components, rearend, and motor, and someone else has the frame, they...
That was May 3, 1964 at New Bremen. The 16 was "sorta the original Cheesman car"? I think this needs some clarification.
The 25 was never the 16 as far as I know. Leffler purchased the Cheesman team with a spare frame. He ran the 25 until it was destroyed at New...
There's video of the Larson/Riegel wreck on YouTube.
That K.E.Y car is MIA and the Dunseth 16 is painted as the Cheesman 25.
That's what I was waiting for Bob! Thanks!
Still waiting on Bob(hopkins1) or Joe(wynns #1). It was originally a Trevis copy of a Watson. Ran as the Federal Engineering car. That's the...
Not exactly a sprint car but it is pre-1969! This is a roadster(duh) owned by hopkins1 and being brought back to life by Wynns #1. I'll let Joe...
Damn Kiwis buying up all our history! JK. Gorgeous car! Got more pictures? This was one of the cars I was planning to do when Revell releases...
