I'm still looking for the photo that was used for the "Hunnert Car Pileup" with two Midget cars stacked up with the drivers contorted in their seats...!

Anybody know which one I'm talking about...?

Isn't that Wally Parks in one of the Midgets? I thought maybe it was taken at the Rosebowl. The one car is over the other like they're mating or something.

When I was a kid, the whole family would go to Lakeside Speedway in Denver on Sunday nights.

It closed in 1988 due to a spectator death. The track is still there, but its falling apart.

Kinda sad to see it now.....

What a great track that was and what a cool park.

That means the driver had to have been a midget in order to fit inside the car with the Allison!

Who would happen to have a photos of the model T roadster and a 64 Chevelle with Allison/Rolls Royce Merlins in them...???

The "T" was campaigned on the show circuit and the Chevelle was show and driven on the street! However the Chevelle had overheating problems as well as a massive fuel appettite!!
