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

Photo looks great!

Welcome to the HAMB,looking forward to seeing more of your photos.

 

Here's some more from Ascot Park

My guess would be Johnny Anderson in the 21, I'm drawing a blank on the 22 and should be Rick Goade in the 23.

 

Welcome.

What's the story on this car?

 

Cool rear end JF.....back in the day nearly every rod,custom and van used a Jag rear,here in the UK...So many were used they are now getting hard to find.This is a great rear end ,used one on my 3 window coupe.This is the new axel on my street sprint..

 

Carl Williams was as tough as they come.

 

Quick drop in.. I'll be at the OPEN WHEEL swap and trade show this Sat. in Indy... with the ELLISON SPL.

Also, Gene and Roy.. I'll be at Crocky's memorial deal at Union Jacks. See ya there.

Hi Buildy,
Willy put an offy in the car for Syracuse, and I believe he won the twin 50s that day. Perhaps Old Bill can confirm. I was the third owner of that car and I remember a section of the frame welded in where the injectors exited.The Bogar 90 is now restored and should show up a some events. Could the #8 have been driven by Scratch Daniels?

This pic made my trip to Oaks a great success last week. Red Reigel in the S & D
sprinter(Seymour & Dakin) @ Reading & judging by the coats being worn, it would be
the March '66 race. Less than 3 months till accident.

@Reading, judging by the coats being worn, it must be March 1966. Three months
before accident

 

That car use to be in a collection in Ohio that got sold off some years back, IIRC.

 

And a couple of months after that, it tried to kill Dave Lundy.

 

Johnny McDowell in the O'Day sprinter. Pic says 1938, Wheeling, W. Va.
Everett Saylor (Dreyer) & Red Rantz in background. Says car cost $25,000.

Roy: The Video gave me goosebumps. WOW! KILLER!

 

Do you know who the driver of this car was? Bill Kimmel Frank's father drove a # 69 sprint car just wondered if this was it as this car was from southern Ind.

 

I,ve got more in stock,don't want to use them all up in one nite , also have dirt champ photos from Flemington and THE GROVE plus URC non winged and 70s wings,the original Pennsylvania Posse with wings,if you guys want me to post them just let me know.....Rich

 

Rabs,

Take all the time you need,but PLEASE keep posting! I love that shot of Gary B in the Cammer.

Also the Shot of Carl Wiliams! This stuff is great.

Mlight9-love the shot of Red Riegal,too! Thumbs up.

 

Thanks to RABs,and all you guys who have posted tonite!

This place is great.
I work 3-11PM,so I`ll be up late looking at all this stuff for sure.

 

Great stuff.
I recommend "The History of Motor Racing Pt 6", Pt 7, Pt 8 etc on Youtube. These reference Indy and show some classic shots of early indy. The Mercedes cars in 39 where remarkable. Removable steering wheel, driver adjustable shocks, just to mention a few of their features.

 

Great stuff Rabs32!!!
