Great shots, Rootie! Thanks.

The first one shows Bob Sweikert at Dayton in May of 1956. Kind of an interesting looking fabricated steering arm on the left front.

At first I couldn't figure out the second photo because of the double row of studs showing on the engine cam covers. That layout didn't come around until the 1960s on the Offies. But that design was on the Sparks 6 cylinder engines so this must be one of the ex-Joel Thorne cars in 1948 at Indianapolis. Sam Hanks is the driver.

 

Mighty fine kick stand use.

 

After a good wash comes The Shining...……………………….
