We discuss the cage-less Champ cars in this thread,along with the sprints.
Mickey,from what I can see that #42 car looks like a Miller to me.
Welcome, Napp! I hope someone can come through for you with the photos you mentioned.
Mickey, In your second photo it appears to be a car #42 trailing the black car.
Another look,maybe Quinn in the one on left? Darn it Could be Triplett. Michael Fernier will know. Comparing with a known Triplett photo,I`d say...
Happy New Year to all! Not sure if URC ran stand alone shows at Reading often,but there was one there around 1970. I believe Gino Swarthout won...
You are so right! I shoot modern open wheel. This photo is for making an illustration of your point. You can`t see Brad Sweet sawing at the wheel...
Thanks David for this "inside View". Happy New Years and a great 2012 to you!
Josh, I wish I could be there to see that sprint car display. I hope someone from on here will get some good photos from the show and post them...
Sorry to hear of the problems,but that is one beautiful machine!
Merry Christmas and safe travels,Josh and all who frequent this thread!
I believe that is Ernie Triplett. I`m interested in seeing anything and everything you have from that era! Thanks for posting these photos!
A friend asked: . do you have any non published info about CRA roadsters from 47 or 48? I am looking for 47 rules... and any detail shots of...
CT-PA is that Joe`s car or did he do it for a customer?
Great to hear that!
He is in my prayers! Very sorry to hear of his accident.
Is this one of the Library of Congress photos. If so it could be Denver around 1925-6. I`m sure Michael Fernier will correct if I messed it up.
Welcome,Mickey! I will look forward to your posts!
Walter Christie. I believe there is a fair bit about the Christie cars in this thread,also.
My pleasure,Spike,glad you enjoyed seeing it. I missed Sprinter 2s ID on the photo,Glad you liked it too,Doug.
Let`s go on toward 4 million views!
I recall reading that Troy Ruttman also used to get sick before a race. He sure could push the loud pedal once things got going, though.
LOL. Back then you were the oddball if you didn`t smoke. Some of the best photos are of drivers nervously smoking a cigarette before going out...
Photo from the EMMR at Latimore Valley,PA [IMG] Same photo cropped and sepia tone removed. [IMG]
Thanks Monkaz, I always enjoy seeing anything about Johnny Thomson.
Any idea where and when,then? 1953? 1954? It was a very large photo on the wall in the EMMR , I never saw it before yesterday. It is very oddly...
At Latimore today. I guess Langhorne-Johnny Thomson. [IMG]
Saw this today at the EMMR. http://buildy.smugmug.com/photos/i-5Cj2t2J/0/X3/i-5Cj2t2J-X3.jpg
Photo in Post 7567 is Bennett Hill in a Delage at Beverly Hills in 1920 IIRC.
