I have little to no pictures of him racing if anyone in their old pics have some and could post them I would deeply appreciate it. So I could copy it to my hard drive. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Orginal message Below... Been sitting up this evening doing some reading. Its gotten way later than I realized it is. But, found something really interesting. I was just looking at the 1939 Texas Midget Racing Association (or whatever it was called then.) Think your racing schedule is busy? How's this? Their first race of the season was Jan. 2nd. They held 55 races that year. The last race of the season was held on Dec. 31st. I also came across an entry list from a 1955 Midget Race in Corpus Christi. The race was held August 20th. See if you recognize any of these names.

Dans28Tdr Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Adam, Come to a Vintage Texas Open Wheel event and there are usually binders full of vintage racing action. There are literally hundreds of pictures to look at. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
