Larry Wallace pulls into the pits after a quarter midget race to his father who is waiting for him. Quarter midgets were one of the stepping stones for many sucessful drivers. The photo is dated 1957.
After WWII, Tom Harper’s father Ben Harper Jr. and his brother Stu built the dry lakes roadster powered by a Ford flathead V-8. The photo shows the car in line with Stu ready to make a run at Muroc Dry Lake in 1947, where the car was timed at about 120 mph. All in all, fairly impressive for a car the brothers built in their driveway.
