History Anyone know a Vic Tuttle of Tulsa Timing Assoc. (1950s)?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Jimmy B, Nov 4, 2009.

  1. Does anyone have info on Vic Tuttle of Tulsa? He was a Hot Rodder in the 1950s. He was ex-Californian and part of the Tulsa Timing****oc. His 5w looks to be Lynn Yakel's old car but with standard style hoodsides.

    The name Vic Tuttle is familiar to me, but I can't bring it up in my memory. In the picture, I wonder if the Glenn Pray is the one that later built the Auburn Boattails?

    That would have been the same Glenn Pray.

    As mentioned, the Hot Rod Garage boys know alot of the old Tulsa timing****ociation guys. You might also contact Vintage Motorsports in Broken Arrow Ok, they actually occupy the old building the Glen Pray built his Cords and Auburns in. In fact, theres still a room dedicated to a cool collection of Cord/Auburn memoribilla and cars at their shop. If anybody can hunt down Glenn Pray and his old cohorts, they would probably be the guys.

    I think Vic is the half brother of Art Maimberg, who was also active in the TTA, and who is still living in the area. I think Art lives in Sand Springs. Vic arrived in Tulsa circa 1952 as I recall.
