\nRare shot of Mel Leighton in his Riley 4-port at Southern Ascot circa 1940. Mel did double duty as an S.C.T.A. Board Member and was responsible for setting up the Hospital fund to take care of injured drivers. Mel and Rajo Jack were both credible drivers but could never advance to the big time thanks to AAA Rules about “colored” drivers at the time.

\nDoug Boyd was a Hot rodder in the ’40s and was also into race history and photography. This cool shot shows him as a teenager in his Chevy-4 powered lakes Modified about eight decades ago. Over the next several days, we’ll share just a few of the thousand-plus shots he took and saved for us.

\nThis great shot shows the Mal Ord equipped flattie in Danny Sakai’s Modified during 1941. Bobby Strahlman built the wicked exhaust pipes. We have Danny, seen on the right, running the car once at a Western Timing race on May 25th and four times during the S.C.T.A. season with his fastest speed at the September 28th meet at 126.58 mph. Sadly on October 17th, Danny crashed to his death after hitting a telephone pole while street racing his motorcycle.

\nChuck Spurgin and Bob Rufi built this Dodge bodied ride in ’39 with an extended tail of wood and muslin to create the S.C.T.A.’s second streamliner after Ernie McAfee's '38 ride. By ’40 they had ditched the tail and Chuck was running the now-numbered 76 car as a Modified while Bob was running his new Streamliner as number 77. As expected the car was powered by a little ’25 Chevy OHV four fitted with an Olds 3-port head and we have it documented running three meets during the year. On May 19 when this shot was taken the car ran 101 mph. In August we have it running 112.35 mph and 109.75 and in November 122.44 mph, 119.52 mph and 121.79 mph.

\nMarch Birthday-Boy Alex Xydias is history still in the making. Alex and a young Robert Shaw debuted the as-yet unfinished So-Cal Speed Shop Belly Tank Streamliner on the April 24-25th weekend of 1948. A '39 Ford V8-60 powered the rig and was fitted with Edelbrock heads and manifold and Winfield cam. As car no. 555 it cruised through the clocks on a shakedown run of 87.04 mph. Not long after that, the car was painted gold and white but soon took on the famous red and white livery that it uses to this day. Always dapper Alex is seen with the car in front of his Speed Shop.

\nThis interesting shot had us going for a moment trying to figuring out a date as not too many drivers used crash helmets at the lakes before WWII. We See Bob Bebek of the Albatas on the dirt in 1941. His ’29 Ford roadster was powered by a flathead V8 with milled heads. It showed up at three meets that year going faster at each one. We have his fastest speed at 121.29 mph at the September 28th meet thanks to a little aero work around the front frame horns and underside. The only other roadster that was close that day was Vic Edelbrock with a speed of 120 mph flat.

\nBert Letner’s Class C Mercury V8 powered Elco-Twin Special is seen at the lakes in ’47. At the first meet in May Bert ran 124.30 mph for a third in class behind Frank Coon and Jack Calori. In July he grabbed a first with a speed of 125.87 mph. At the August 31st races he ran 121.95 mph and had to settle for sixth. In September he was even slower with a run of 120.96 mph and was out of the top 16 in class. Bert was further down the chain in October with a speed of only 119.52 mph. At the time the car was running weekly in CRA (California Racing Association) circle track races.

\nBill Barrett’s daughter just sent us a group of great old hot rod shots. This one is from early 1945 and shows two cool looking Deuce’s of the day. Bill was one of nine members of the Pasadena Excelerators while in high-school. He and his fellow led-footers were big on street racing and attending Russetta outlaw meets in ’44 and hung out with the Gophers. Bill would eventually join the Road Runners. We don’t have a clue at this time of who own’s these two dust covered beauties. Note the modified rear springs on both rides that sat them a few inches lower.

\nA young Arnold Birner on the right checks out his hopped-up Model A back in 1940. It has the number 244 on the side and was powered by a Riley 4-port headed Ford 4-banger. Arnold was a member of the Bungholers Car Club and ran the car twice that year, first in May and then in November. We have no speeds for him. Arnold also ran the car in ’39 but we think that was before he put the body on the lowered Deuce chassis shown in this pix.

\nReg Schlemmer's Track Roadster paid a visit to El Mirage on April 24-25 1948 to see how fast it would go.

\nThis bellypanned '29 A was owned by Glendale Ramblers member Dick Snyder and was entered at three lakes meets during the 1941 season. At the July 20 meet he's in the program but we don't have a speed for him. In August the car is listed as Snyder-Cooper, referring to Wes Cooper of Glendale. Again, we have no speed listed for the car. At the September meet it's again listed as Snyder-Cooper and powered by a Ford 4. If you look close you can see it's a B block that has two Winfields feeding it. A speed of 101.23 mph is listed.

\nDon Turner takes his 1930 Chevy Dirt Track Roadster for a spin back on December 28, 1942. The location was listed as Turkens Dirt Flats. A note said it was “Our future Ascot Goat for the American Racing Association”. As usual, this creates another unsolved mystery as we can’t find any information on Turkens Flats. We do know they raced roadsters as Southern Speedway\/Southern Ascot before the war. Don was 14 at the time this picture was taken. Luckily, Don told us in passing that he worked as a crew member on Bob Scott's Bromme built Belond Equa-Flow Indy car that was garaged next to Vuki's car at Indy in 1953. We call that living the dream.
