Vehicle Story
Automobile racing in the USA in the Twenties and Thirties depended upon a network of talented mechanics, fabricators and drivers who created high performance racing cars of almost unimaginable diversity and creativity.
Sprint cars were important to Thirties racers. Not only did they earn starting and prize money on evenings when the big speedway cars didn’t run but they also accumulated valuable season points.
The growth of this business was helped by the advent of the stock engine-based ‘junk formula’ announced by the AAA in mid-1929 for the 1930 season.
This opened the door for many drivers to create their own cars, often with manufacturers’ open or tacit support.
This wonderful vehicle is a very high-quality homage to those 1930s sprint cars.
