    The guy told me the were 70's for sure. I'm thinking $750.00 is a fair price with 7 engines and 1 is still brand new in the box, along with a dyno machine.

    Where were they built? Yours look great.
     
  3. I would say $750 is a gift! You did good.

    Steve in Kurtis  6 5 66 Hayward.jpg Steve in Luther Hayward June 1966.jpg I raced quarter midgets during 1966. Living in Alameda our home track was Hayward but we also ran at a dirt track in Sacramento called the "Cracker Jack Track". Also ran at Baylands which was always a night race. My first car was an old Luther then we got two Kurtis cars and a rigid for the dirt track. Two photos for now. Will load more soon.

    I scored this midget racer sitting in a backyard of a house we bought. I had to pay 800 for it, its got the rear cowel not pictured. Anyone know what brand year it is?

  21. Would have to see the nose, but it could be a Racecraft. It sure was never raced with that engine and drive set up.

    Picked up this (what I think is a) micro midget the other day. Cage has been modified/added to a lot. Stored at a friend's house for a few days then I can get it home and dig into it further. No idea why the bumper is on upside down.

  29. Found this little book;along with two others on early racing in an antique shop the other day.Apparently a private printing(no publisher's name in the frontispiece) about an organization I never heard of and I grew up in New England. Mostly biographies of the members with a few action pics. Couldn't complain about the price: $2.50 per book.
    The Wagner book I just finished reading and was very interesting. First published in 1938 Clymer re-printed it in 1948. Fred Wagner was the official starter for just about every major race in the country starting in 1899! A great perspective from another angle. The Ted Horn book will be started tonight.
