more 1948 California hot rods

 From the October 16 and 18, 1948 Modesto Bee. Don Radbruch wrecks. Interesting to see the Joe Huffaker name. Went on to sports car and Indianapolis fame as a builder.

big car race, 1960, California

I noted that race promoter Charlie Curryer had a birthday recently. He is long gone but people seem to note these things anyway. So shortly after his death they held a memorial race in his name. On Memorial Day, 1960, at Vacaville Speedway. The results, sad as they are, follow. From the May 31, 1960 Oakland Tribune.
