A “Little One”
Hello,

One of the smallest FED race cars was seen in 1959. It was at the huge drag meet at the Riverside Raceway.

The top racers from all over the USA came to the race event. But, this little FED race car was in the pits trying to get the top performance out if the tiniest motor, ever… December 1959… "one of these guys is doing his own thing..."

It did get lost in the shuffle... due to the top racers everyone wanted to see...live, on the Westcoast for the first time.
