The Jalopy Journal

Here's another shot of the same car. I may have to test my metal-working skills. One of these has moved up on my to-do list. A V8 60 would be perfect for this. It had a Chevy four in it in the '30's. I can see a modern four banger under the hood too.

Looks like Hillbilly road racing in the 1930's.

Roadster racing in the '30's. Looks like "The Bug" was not the first car to be striped down to the frame rails.

Rand Man · 01-13-2007, 11:26 AM

More roadster racing.

sorry no info other than the photographers name ted horn.

Ted Horn was the driver, one of the all time greats, there is a reason the#1 is on the tail. The pic was taken 1948 or earlier as that is the yr. he was killed in a race.

Now we're getting into the post-war era we're more familiar with.

Rand Man · 01-13-2007, 02:48 PM

Rand Man · 01-13-2007, 02:57 PM

Rootie Kazoootie · 01-14-2007, 10:43 AM

Some days it just goes real bad.

Flathead Youngin' · 01-14-2007, 11:30 AM

good stuff

Rand Man · 01-14-2007, 11:57 AM

Getting back to my point. This is Basil "BT" Barber of Iola, Kansas and the Model T Ford in which he finished third at Winfield, Kansas in 1913.

as you can tell by my name i am in total agreement about dirt oval racing being the main influence in hot rodding. Hot Rod magizene / wally parks created nhra drag racing and have always pushed it when in realty oval track racing has always been the back bone of hot rodding. i am from the midwest and could go to 5 or 6 dirt tracks in my area i remember when kenny weld left are area for pennsylvina and i asked why and was told there were over 50 tracks in the area. new dirt track are currently being built all over the country. we have a new just opening here in phx.
