Rip Kirby, International Incident, part twelve

More from Rip Kirby's International Incident:

Allen Heath from the 1960s

Allen Heath as Los Angeles' Ascot Speedway. Allen started his racing up in the northwest.

I recognize the Stoker name. Rolly Stoker I believe. Good with small motors, like those found on outboards, etc.

some more old-time soap box racing

Some serious looking machinery running here in 1941.

The Sun sponsored some soap box racing in the 194os. Featured in their Sun-Rays column on the comics page.

The name Fred Cooney rings a bell. I believe he's the same as the midget racing owner from the 1950s. Ferry Meat Market?
