The little Austins were built at a small factory set up in Wales by the Austin Motor Company. They set it up as a benevolent thing to give employment to ex miners who could only do light work due to lung problems associated with the mine working.

Here are some shots from a November, 1979 Old Car Illustrated magazine The article is on the Tacoma Speedway, 1912 to 1922, in Tacoma Washington state. Interesting history...if any one is interested in the text of the article, less than a full page content, pm me and I will send it. Sent from my SM-T387V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Arlington Tx. 1949. Holland, Wallard, McGrath, Catalina. They only ran a 50 lap feature and Holland didn't start, so this must be a heat race.
