  1. I believe the gray quarter midget might well be a Potter Kurtis, likely the FX model. Potter made his version of a Kurtis quarter midget for almost 20 years, after he bought the Kurtis quarter midget rights from Frank Kurtis. (great chat room....this is my first day.) Alvin As far as the "rather large side pods" on Potter Kurtis cars, they were called "wings" at the time. Most Potter Kurtis cars had no wings, and ran normal knerf bars on the sides. The so-called "wings" were extra cost options, and served the same purpose as knerf bars. Potter made perhaps 6 or even 8 versions of Kurtis cars, after he bought the rights, and the Potter cars were a bit smaller and lighter than the original Kurtis built design made in the 1950's. I raced a 1958 original version, and my son raced a 1975 Potter FX version when he was little. Later still, I fielded a very early Stanley, which was a carbon copy of the last Potter kurtis, which potter called the "FEX". I still have photos of all three...
