You probably have this pic but I posted it in case you don't. Also, It seems that no one has posted about the demise, dissolution or absorption...
Just found this article today although it's 8 years old. It's a little hard to believe the story though....
Please let me clarify. I'm not saying current rules should mandate all cars need to look like 1948 KK midgets. I'm just talking about the roll...
If anyone reading this is involved in current midget and or sprint car racing I/we need your help. I know I'm not the only one that finds some of...
I spent the first 23 years of my life in NJ. I had no idea how much racing history there is in NJ. Click the link ......
Call me old school but I don't want to live long enough to see the day when I can't drive my own car.
looks cool but those track conditions were horrendous! I don't know if I've ever seen such dry slick conditions!
it looks like you copied the wrong link. When you're on your photobucket page, you click the image link that says, "direct link" then on the...
Jim, I'm glad you survived racing without a roll cage! Did guys drive a bit more cautiously before the cages? Some of the things I see...
I think most of us would agree that the bodies on modern midgets are fugly. I race a 270 micro sprint and would love to run a retro hood and nose...
Tommy, I'm enjoying the article. Being born in 1968, I'm not sure if I watched Len Duncan race but I know my grandfather and father did. He's my...
R.I.P Ken ! I'll miss you on here. Prayers go out to your family. Andy Cardinale Jr.
Yes it is! Here's my post on Sumter on this very thread a few pages back... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6958997#post6958997
I just found this video from the 1959 Trenton 250 Junior Indy race and thought the readers of this thread would be interested. Great stuff!...
no doubt that's Dutch Schaefer with the checkers in the Bennett brothers Spotoil Offy in '65 or '66. I'm wondering who is pushing the car in the...
even though I'm unqualified as this was before my time, I'll take a stab at a couple. #27 roadster Tony Bonadies, #1 Len Duncan, #20 Bill Randall
Thank you 28Dryer and R B Blatz! A little searching revealed that April 3, 1947 at Phoenix speedway Bill Putney won the feature in the Root &...
I'm a huge Buick fan. I'd love to see more pictures of midgets with Buick power. Thanks, Andy
Sorry I don't have any info for you but I find it very interesting to see what a KK bare chassis looked like in 1948 and hoped you could answer...
no posts in three days??? I'll fix that! These are more of the Ralph Morse Life Magazine Pics from Kingsbridge Armory 12/47 except the last one...
I found these Life Magazine Photos online. They're from the Kingsbridge Armory December 1947. Photo Credit : Ralph Morse
Thank you Joe, and all others. Now I understand.
Can anyone explain the story behind the hand brake on the old cars? Thanks, Andy
I believe this is the Bennett Bros. KK Offy in 1961 being towed by a 1959 Chevy Impala. They won the ARDC points championship that year. If...
If it really hasn't been run since 1971 I'd say it's about time to fire that little baby up and put some laps on her!
I'm sure a lot of you guys go to vintage meets and listen to offy's all the time but I haven't heard one since I was a child and I don't remember...
This photo is an example of what I call art! These instructions are found on this site's FAQs. How do I attach a file/picture to a post? To...
Monkaz, Thank you for posting these beautiful high quality pictures. I love them! Also, I've often wondered what the old Elto Powered Midget...
AFAIK, the Elto 4-60 [IMG]was the only competitive outboard in a Midget. Also, There's a high probability the programs you gave Chris are...
This thread is great, I love the history. It clearly shows that motorsports is on the way out. How about making regular visits to your local...
