Rajo overhead and Buffalo wire wheels.
Here's Frank Weirer in the car, likely in late 1939. That's Clarence at center in the pith helmet. [ATTACH]
Number 5 is one of the Howe Hisso cars, will have to check my notes in a bit, but possibly the car that Clarence Delagrange bought from Howe in...

Ike's history goes way back to Muroc in 1931, winning one of the first speed trails held there in his Riley-headed '29 roadster.
I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe the 8cyl cars had the checkerboard pattern and 100mph speedometer, and the V12 cars had engine turned...
Glad to help! Haha!
Looks like a normal '28-'29 Ford model A transmission to me.
Things are definitely changing, no doubt about that. I'll keep my comments on that to myself though. Personally, I had my best Hershey ever...

Bob, Emory never tried for Indy, said that racing is what put food on the table and taking time off from the IMCA circuit, his bread and butter,...
Bob, here's a quick recap on the timeline of the car. No idea if the either of the first 3 noses still exist. I'm assuming they're long gone, but...
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'm not sure it would help. It might just annoy them, and I don't want to do that either. They were incredibly...
They asked if I'd be interested in donating them, and I get that, but they have no desire or ability to put a car together, and that in my opinion...
Thanks! Lmao, thanks! The museum folks I dealt with were super nice, they basically left me alone with the car for 2 days. Nope, just said...
Dave! You've nailed it perfectly here. I submitted a proposal to the museum with what I felt was a good offer to buy the tail. The museum board...
