[IMG] This is the closest I can come up with: #53 Fairfax/Nash, driven in a couple of 1952 NARA events by one Ted Jennings from Arlington/VA. As...
Ahh, thanks for that! No, this is not what I expected (per my earlier post), and from the top of my head I have no idea what it could be. Looks...
Thanks for this snippet, very much appreciated! The "Half Mile Offy" was the car in the Nauman accident, while the "McDowell" was the former John...
He was a mechanic on the Novi team, I forgot his name... I want to say Ed Vogel? EDIT: Correction, I think it was "Radio" Gardner, another Novi...
Oh my, what a wreck! :( No wonder Vic Nauman was half dead when they pulled him from the car! He did recover, and raced again, but he was never...
I can't be sure, but from circumstantial evidence it was either Joe Barzda's secondary car, a Mercury #52, (Becker's own?) Riley #29 or a Hal...
Two different cars: Lightie owned the old Cunningham sprinter after he'd sold the Dreyer chassis to Leach Cracraft of West Virginia. The...
#19 is a nice car, should have some history, but unfortunately there's not quite enough meat on that bone for me to identify. Should be late...
I think that's actually Billy Winn at the wheel, at Langhorne in 1934 - I don't think this car ever ran at Crossbay, certainly not with Russo (who...
Not quite... it's a 1912 Peugeot.
Hey, that's Graham Hill... drinking my 'home beer'!! (I'm a Bitburger :D) Does anyone recognize the other driver (Dickie Attwood, is it?), or...
Actually, no - it's rear-engined.
You are correct, of course. Answer came from the hip... :oops:
The first one is a Peugeot, the second a Bugatti. Driver Maurice Trintignant can be seen in bobble hat and shades behind the car (discussing with...
Ahh, Lucien Wurmser it is. Apologies for the Ramponi deviation.
That's not Bira, I think it's Chiron. I'm wondering if the mechanic is Giulio Ramponi, but I have no recollection of him working for Bugatti or...
I think you're right, I have seen the picture before and identified the location, but have no access to my notes right now, but Flemington sounds...
Frankie Beeder. There's a post at Motorsport Memorial about your uncle, George Woollis:...
June 16 in 1917, Chicago Speedway Park in Maywood/IL.
Well, scratch that - brain fart! Clearly two different cars. No, but maybe Dickson's '68 ride became the Foyt #11? Does anyone know?
That was in the seventies, and I think it was still the same car (but am not sure).
The program is from the 1965 Reading Fair race in September - Foyt drove the Stapp #4 in July.
Yes, he did: 1965-07-17 Reading/PA 4th 1965-08-28 Minnesota SF 3rd (not 100 % sure) 1965-08-29 Minnesota SF 5th (ditto) 1966-09-11 Terre Haute/IN...
Correct, except that the Miller is one of the few to never have raced at Indy! Miller ‘S8’ « Indy Car A-Z « OldRacingCars.com (see entry at '2302-X')
He didn't, it's a publicity shot. But everyone wore a tie those days, even during races!
Swiss cheese lightening? :D You could argue it's a forerunner of the monococque... ;)
It is. 1951 (Earl) Beal/Offy, out of Norristown/PA. Reputedly a Bud Sherk Midget before the "stretch job". In the background is another stretched...
Whalemart?
Earl Unversaw, ex-motorcycle racer from Indianapolis and riding mechanic for 1934 Indy winner Bill Cummings. Yes, pretty standard Fronty-Fords, DO...
It would help to know who the photographer was!
