Features VINTAGE SPRINT CAR PIC THREAD, 1965 and older only please.

I have just found a 1925 Dodge front axle . I heard several builders used them for sprint/champ car front axles in the 50-60s. Any truth to that?

How would I go about getting the kingpin bosses angled right?

 

Found Tut Moore mentioned in this April, 1950 article, not sure how it relates to this particular picture http://news.google.com/newspapers?i...AAAAIBAJ&pg=3411,1064002&dq=hinnershitz&hl=en

 

Lee,that looks an awful lot like a young Tommy Hinnershitz to me in the #70!

 

Really good stuff posted today!!

 

I`ll say!

 

more from 2011 Hershey!

 

Bobby Marvin is listed as the owner of the #76 B&J Spl. in the 1962 USAC sprint car standings.

 

Good eye Buildy, That is Tommy Hinnershitz - in his younger days!

 

Thanks,I was hoping to be right. Tommy-another one of my heroes!

 

Looking great Blackvette!

 

RIP Dan Wheldon... 2 time winner of the 500. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Of coarse this will open the flood gates for the News, and IGNORANT General media to speak of "What needs to be done about this", Safety changes, and WORSE of all.. SPEED RESTRICTIONS. I will take this ONE post to say:

"It's sad, and I feel for those close to it. Let's all bow our heads, agree that it sucks, and Move On."

This forum IS NOT the place for any in depth discussion on current events in Motorsports. Indiana Open Wheel and MANY others are the place for that.

Feel free to post any well wishes for his family, and show your sorrow.. But I think we will all agree to keep this Thread on track.

Thank you all.

You are a born leader Josh. Well said.

 

I hope this shot can help get things back on track. This was a couple years ago at a vintage event, Manzanita or Perris, I can't remember which.
Keep on posting
Thanks

I always liked springer fronts vs. 4 bars.

 

It`s got the right attitude,too! Tail hanging all the way out.

 

That is excellent!!!

Josh,thanks for the wise words,met him at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July....nice guy....God Bless him and his family.

 

Amen, Josh. Amen.

 

Van Johnson, in the Sam Traylor 55, pitches it into the corner at Reading 1957.

 

Looked as if Mc Clusky was checking the clearance of the left rear to the radius rod or the LONG exhaust pipe.

 

Amen.

 

It looks a tad loose
