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!
Stanley Babinski, of Sloatsburg/NY, raced a Bab Special in several independent (ARA, NEBCRA, Central-Pennsy, EIRC, AMRA) races in the PA/NY area...
Good call, I'd say, re the Essex frame. I recall that a similar frame on the Hooker Special was often mistaken for a Miller frame, when in fact it...
No, it's Fred Horey. I'm trying to figure out the car, it gives me headaches...
You're welcome, Hans! (Any connections to the Vaterland, with that name? :)) History of NARA starts in 1929, or maybe earlier, with the Atlantic...
The name of the former curator of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum is Tom Schmeh... George Koerner was from Reading, PA, and at...
Well, that's obviously not a Simplex but a Packard.
1954.
We're talking about two different cars. Jimmie Benedict had an 8-cylinder Duesenberg after he'd sold the 4-cylinder to Louis Hoyt in 1921. It was...
To be perfectly frank, I don't remember all the details - it's been several years since I looked into this! I don't think Duesenberg built that...
