History The Model T Club of Lompoc, CA., 1936

The Model T Club of Lompoc, CA., 1936.

 

I live 20 mins. From Lompoc and from the old guys I know they say Lompoc had the first circle dirt track in California. Circa 1920s. So I wonder how long and when the t club was est.

 

This might help explain racing in Lompoc a little more.

check Sacramento dirt tracks.........or races.....for early ones....

 

Great pics, that number 16 car appears to be running '26 T wood wheels but has parallel leafs up front and the engine looks like an A with the intake flipped for a downdraft carb. A fair bit of work there, far from just a stripped down stocker.
