\nShot at El Centro on March 4, 1934, we see Mel Kenealy in his Lion Head Special number 18. The Imperial County Fair track was one mile in length and the AAA sanctioned race was to be 50 miles. It was also really dusty. Mel started in 10th place out of 12 competitors after qualifying with a time of 42.21 seconds. The race was red-flagged on lap 23 because of a nasty incident that ended up killing Ernie Triplett. By this time Mel had worked his way up to seventh.

\nThis one-off Kurtis-Kraft special was a collaboration between Meyer and Drake and Frank Kurtis. The lightweight car was based on a stretched Kurtis midget chassis and originally featured a supercharged Offy midget powerplant. Seems the competition didn’t like the idea of running against a house car after it won a couple of races and it was soon sold to Murrell Bellanger. Bellanger with Lee Wallard driving went on to win the ’51 500 in the car. This is probably a ’52 shot, as the car is at Indy and is running as number 99 with Bettenhausen as the driver. Tony would crash the car in practice. Note it’s running a different grill shell with vents in it and a different shaped grill insert. This car was the most successful Kurtis built big car ever, winning a total of 16 AAA Champ Car races.

\nWe see Mr. Chevrolet in the center behind the driver at what became Legion Ascot in Southern California. The car was called a Frontenac since the Chevrolet Brothers had sold their Name to Durant, then at General Motors, for a new line of automobiles. This is the same car and same number that Alfred E. Moss (British racing driver Stirling Moss’s dad) drove at indy to a 16th place finish in 1924 as the Barber-Warnock Ford. The car featured a Model T chassis and block fitted with a Frontenac racing cylinder head. The car’s original streamlined front axle has been changed and the belly pan has been removed. Note the truss-rod fitted to the bottom of the chassis to keep it from flexing.

\nWhile we’re talking General Motors and style, we see the Durant Team in all its glory before the first race of the 1923 AAA season at Beverly Hills on February 25, 1923. Seems William Crappo Durant was the mastermind behind General Motors before he was ousted from the company. He then went on to form the Durant Motor Car Company and used these Miller Race Cars to advertise the new company. Car number 1 is Team leader Jimmy Murphy with his Mechinician Ernie Olson. In car number 2 is Dario Resta. Car number 4 has Eddie Hearne behind the wheel. In car number 5 we have Earl Cooper. In number 6 the shoe is Art Klein and last but not least in car number 7 we have the owner of all the cars and a driver himself, Cliff Durant. In the race Murphy won, Hearne was 4th, Resta was 8th, Durant was 9th and Klein was 15th and last. The sad part is that at the third race of the year, Indy on May 30, the two-man cars would be a thing of the past until they re-appeared in '30.

\nDubbed one of the most beautiful cars ever to appear at the Speedway, driver Jim Hurtubise qualified the Pearl Pink and Candy Purple with Orchid number 56 Ernie Ruiz Travelon Trailer Special at the amazing speed of 149.056 mph for a lowly 23rd starting spot in the 1960 Indy 500. To put it into perspective, pole sitter Eddie Sachs put his car on the pole with a speed of 146.592 mph on the first day of qualifying. The chief mechanic was none other than hot shoe himself “Dapper” Danny Oaks (second from left). The car was originally built by Barney Christiansen for Ruiz with the help of Willie Utzman (a dry lakes racer from the ’30s) from plans supplied by A.J. Watson. It was powered by a stand-up 252” Offy. In the race itself, the car lasted 185 laps before losing a con-rod and was awarded an 18th place finish. Hurtubise was awarded Rookie of the Year at the race. Ed Hitze snapped the cool shot.

\nBob Sweikert checks out some of his practice times on the clipboard during practice before the 1955 Indy 500. His rose, white and black Kurtis-Kraft 500C was entered by the John Zink Company and featured a 270” Offy for power. Bob ended up qualifying for the race in 14 starting place with a speed of 139.996 mph. At the end of the tragic 500-mile grind during which ’53 and ’54 winner Bill Vukovich perished, Mr. Sweikert emerged the victor.

\nWho says racing has ever been a safe sport? Driver Lester Spangler and his Mechanician William E. \"Spider\" Matlock have a little problem. The action is seen at Oakland Speedway on November 13, 1932 during the Oakland 150 mile race. Les had qualified his Miller in the fifth starting spot and made it through the 10th lap when this shot was snapped. He was classified as finishing 15th and last. Spangler would crash to his death in the 1933 Indy 500 and Matlock was killed in a crash at Legion Ascot Speedway in January 1936.

\nLouis Meyer is seen staged on the front straight at Legion Ascot Speedway in his Jadson Products Special Miller sometime in 1931. Jadson was a made-up name that stood for J. A. Drake and Son. The Central California company made valves that were used in racecars. It's interesting that Louie and Drake's son, Dale, would buy out Fred Offenhauser after WWII and continue producing the historic “Offy” engine under the name of Meyer-Drake. Lou was the first three-time winner at the Brickyard, coming home first in 1928, 1933 and 1936.

\nThis clean ride with Stubby Stubberfield behind the wheel is seen at Legion Ascot in 1931 and is called the Cragar Special. It was powered by a Dual overhead cammed Miller-Schofield 4-cylinder engine based off a Ford 4-cylinder that was later called a Cragar. Board Track driver and later Chief Steward at Indianapolis Harlan Fengler modified the chassis that started life as a Duesenberg back in 1923 and had it rebodied. The car’s owner was Clarence Tarbet and it was formerly driven by Pete DePaolo at Indy. Herman Schurch was killed in the car at Legion Ascot.

\nA cool back shot of jack McAfee’s sprinter was taken at what was soon to be called Carrell Speedway. The car was powered by a D.O. Hal headed B Block. In '47 Jack ran the car at the lakes to a speed of 122.95 mph then soon fitted a Studie Champion-6 powerplant. Rumor has it Babe Stapp once owned it and we found some info saying Andy Gutherie drove it as a stretched Midget, all pre-WWII.

\nTassi Vatis campaigned this KK4000 from 1957 to 1963. It was chassis number 380 and originally built in 1954 for Ray Crawford for dirt track use. This shot was dated September 1960. We have the car at Springfield on August 20 when it blew up during the race, Milwaukee on August 28, DuQuoin on September 5th with Bill Homeier DNQing in both, Syracuse on the 10th, the Hoosier 100 on the 17th and Trenton on the 25th of September with Bob Cleberg as the driver and continuing the DNQ string. At that time most Champ Cars were towed on open trailers like this one.

\nChief Mechanic Jean Marcinac is seen doing a little carb linkage adjustment on one of the Bud Winfield Novi’s before the cars left their California home for the 1949 Indy 500. The drivers were Rex Mays and Duke Nalon. The cars qualified for the race in first and second with Nalon on pole. Both cars were out of the race by the 48th lap with Nalon in a fiery crash on lap 23 and Mays with engine trouble.

\nAlan Heath drove Duke Randall’s Central California car at the California Roadster Associations National Championship Races at Carrell Speedway on October 31. He took part in Event Number 5, a six-lap inverted start heat race and won it going away. He then transferred to Event Number 8, the inverted start Second Main Event and started on the pole of the 16 car, 50 lap race. Alan came home in second. He then went on to compete in the inverted start Event number 9, the 20 lap Run Off featuring 10 cars. Alan started eighth and sadly we don’t have the final results. Ken Stansberry was the car's usual driver.

\nHal Robb's brown number 55 Kurtis Midget was called the Jewel. It's seen at San Diego's Balboa Stadium in 1949 with Bob Barker behind the wheel. This car ran at the last Gilmore Stadium race in 1950 and is listed in the Zabel Program in the group above. On the right, we see the tail of the number 1 car owned by Ernie Casale and driven by Bill Cantrell. The number 9 car next to it was also Casale's and was driven by Bill Zaring. The number 2 car was the Kittinger-Stroppe (that’s Bill Stroppe) entry sometimes driven by Zaring.

\n“Chief Wahoo”, the Cherokee Indian, was the phony moniker given to Joie Chitwood whose car we see at Jacksonville Speedway on November 16, 1947, during the Sunday morning qualifying session. The day before Joie had run a lap at 24.50 seconds. Some work overnight resulted in a quicker 23.95 a few minutes after this pic was snapped. The car usually ran as number 8 but in this race wore number 6. In heat race 3 Joie finished first in front of Jackie Holmes, George Weitzman, and Al Flemming. In the final 30 lap feature, Joie finished in 4th behind winner Ted Horn, Walt Brown, and Tommy Hinnershitz. In front of Joie’s car, we can see Ted Horn in the driver’s seat. In the background is Bill Holland’s car number 29 driven by Johnnie Shakelford. The details are courtesy of Mr. Zabel’s old race programs.

\nWe see the number 41 Greenman-Casale Eddie Kuzma built ride on pit lane before the 1956 Indianapolis 500. Driver Billy Garrett put the 263” Offy powered car in the show with a 29th place qualifying position with a speed of 140.559 mph. Billy was flagged home in 16th finishing position after completing 194 laps. If the car looks familiar to you eagle-eyed viewers it should, as the car was first seen at the Speedway in ’51 as the number 2 Agajanian Grant Piston Ring Special. Driver Walt Faulkner finished 15th that year. In ’52 a young Troy Ruttman won the race in the car wearing number 98. In ’53 Tony Bettenhausen drove the car to a ninth place finish. In ’54 the car didn’t show at the Speedway. In ’55 Ernie Casale was the owner and entered it as number 27 for driver Rodger Ward. On the 53rd lap, Rodger was involved in the crash that took Bill Vukovich’s life and didn’t finish the race. Note the front nerf bar still carries the A for Agajanian as does the leather headrest pad. This car was restored to its 1952 \/ Ruttman livery in the 1990s by AHRF friend and hot rod pioneer, Tommy Sparks, and currently resides in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

\nThe Golden Anniversary of the Indy 500 in '60 was a perfect event for our hero driver Anthony Joseph Foyt to win his first race at the track. His Watson Roadster was powered by a 252” Offy 4-banger that he put on the pole of the third row with a qualifying speed of 145.903 mph. When he crossed the finish line he had averaged 139.130 mph for the 500 miles. Foyt was leading at 184 laps when he dashed into the pits for some fuel and handed the lead to arch-rival Eddie Sachs. Sachs was on his way to a sure victory when he had to pit for fuel three laps from the end and handed the win back to a happy Mr. Foyt. Sachs averaged 139.041 mph for the 500 miles.
