Seasonal Greasings

Yes, Yes, Merry Christmas. Enjoy it. From the Golden Wheels midget CD of photos. Ernie Spalding was a Canadian by birth. Lived and raced out of the U.S. Came to Canada to race midgets on the lower mainland and big cars in Victoria before and after the Second World War.

Just to prove that here's a Victoria clipping from 1949. Oh yeah, his son was Cliff Spalding who won a few USAC midget races over the years. And Ernie's brother was Jack Spalding who raced midgets in Vancouver and big cars in Victoria.

so, happy new year!

But wait, there's more!

A few links to a new (old) site:

A February 1947 article on Hot Rods from Mechanix Illustrated.

A December 1933 article on Modified Stock Car racing from Modern Mechanix.

And an August 1950 article on Hot Rods at Bonneville from Popular Mechanics.

Don't know why PM spells "mechanix" rong, er, wrong.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS (and all that good stuff)
