A BMW Veritas Mystery!

Greetings from South Dakota,

New to the site, and I am enjoying all the great discussions thus far.A wealth of knowledge here. This is my 1st time posting thank you.

Was hoping I could get some help with a unique BMW Veritas Mystery.

I was contacted yesterday by a gentleman from Wisconsin who was looking for some information on his late friends 1949 BMW Veritas RS, that he worked with Wayne Bolt of Wisconsin. Now this was not your ordinary Veritas Roadster RS in 1965 this was a small Block gaser/dragster holding a “World Record”. Yeaaaa, I was thinking the same thing, a dragster come on, but then the photos arrived by the email and sure as shit There she was a real life vintage 60’s era blown Veritas.

I was hoping to help the gentleman and the late “Wayne Bolt’s Family” find out a little more info on the fate on this Post War aluminum bodied roadster. They were unsure of were it ever ended up! Or if by chance there are more vintage photos of the Wisconsin Veritas

A good mystery nothing more nothing less

Thanks in advance

Cool looking car and like my fellow hamber said,I've never seen one ether.

There are a lot of people here that might be able to shed some light on the mystery .

It's not a gasser.
It is CM/SP which means
C- for class (Weight per Cubic Inch)
M-Modified
SP- Sports Car

 

Do you know what it ran?
N.H.R.A.
A.H.R.A.
I.H.R.A.
N.A.S.CA.R. drags
Knowing this would really help find some history.

 

Interesting but not HAMB related.

THANK YOU .... PALMER

MY FIRST VERITAS HAD A SB FORD IN IT..... THE GUY TOOK $$$$ OFF THE PRICE TO KEEP THE ENGINE..... TOOK ME MANY HOURS TO GET ALL THE EXTRA JUNK OUTTA IT.
AT LEAST THE "BUILDER" HADN'T CUT THE FRAME ..TOSSED THE REAR END OR THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE ALUMINUM BODY WAS STILL IN ONE PIECE.

 

Who would drag race a sports car?
