  1. He didn't say if his dad liked or didn't like it (as my father-in-law would say (usually about Camas or Longview) "it smells like money" - I'd rather smell like cinnamon rolls myself). I think it's a neat memory. My dad smelled like hospital soap when he came home (he's a doctor).

    Rootie, I think this midget came East and became the Eddie Allen Offy . Was this shot taken at Gilmore ? 1-16-b-karl young.JPG

  6. Look how simple this car is that Dago 88 posted. If Vern Tardel would turn you loose in his place for a weekend, you could drive it to work on Monday. This one doesn't look like a driver yet. I don't see any brake lines, and of course no radiator. I might have enough parts to actually build this laying around here. 13124720_1132976606733681_1142194399000706813_n.jpg

    Note: where the frame touches the rear end housing...
    and the steering is Not ready for "showtime" I think they are "just playing"...

    Oh, I read that wrong, sorry Maggie.
    I remember telling a friend of mine back in high school how lucky he was to work in a pizza joint, told him it must really smell good all the time (I've always been a pizza addict), he said you would grow to hate it.:eek:

    Glider launch doesn't take a lot of ground speed. With most enough lift is generated at around 20 mph to have responsive controls.considering on coming wind and lift generated by updraft at hills edge gets them airborne more than high ground speed.

    It looks like the Axle tubes are bottomed out on the frame
    The body looks sectioned, and it is RHD [cool low profile though]

    Yes, it's Karl Young at Gilmore and it looks like it may be it's maiden race. Suppose to be Frank Kurtis' first midget. Lives at the Justice Bros. museum nowadays.

    Both my daughter and granddaughter worked at pizza places when they were in high school and loved it. And they still love pizza.

    The bucket in question was built by Peter Swift from Melbourne Australia & has been on the road continuously since the mid 60's. Peter still owns it:)

  22. I had one glider flight back in 1970, and that was the method used to launch the machine. The machine had enough jam to allow us to soar for over 45 minutes. I was highly impressed, because I was flying the Voodoo, a supersonic fighter that had the glide ratio of a battery powered rock.

    When I was in the 9th grade LaFayette Ford was just across the street from my Algebra class window. Some of the drivers and cars they sponsored were on display from time to time. Very distracting for a kid who loved car stuff. Dan Gurney was one of my favorites.

    Here's a video interview with the builder. Looks like it still has zero frame clearance for the rear axle.
