Pete, your name popped into my head when I first saw that. Isn't it one I saw a photo of at Bonneville?
Some of my favorite cars have your touch on them or others in your family.
What a delight!

Re: Model T "RACER" on B.A.T.
Yes Pete, I know and I thank you for doing such a marvelous job. This thing just radiates dirt track racing. I'm really sorry to see it go but time is rapidly catching up to me, although if it doesn't reach reserve,I'll be just as happy to keep it. I made a couple of modest changes to it, changed the seat to one with lower side bolsters (this allowed for easier entry and egress for my old bones). I also changed the starter to a Wasp 12 v and added a couple of gauges.
here's a video of it to stir your memory a bit:

Rich, that Bonneville photo Was when Don Small had the car, I bought it from Don's Son. I think this is the photo you're thinking about.Rich Eagle wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 11:54 amPete, your name popped into my head when I first saw that. Isn't it one I saw a photo of at Bonneville?

Re: Model T "RACER" on B.A.T.
Well it looks like I shall continue to own this little masterpiece. Of all the T and A speedsters I've owned (some12-14 to be honest) this one is to my mind the truest of them all, yet didn't make reserve. I'm starting to think that the interest in Speedsters is decreasing, probably mirroring the numbers of us aging owners. Too bad, perhaps we need to be teaching the youngsters the fine points of speeding in an openwheeled treasure?

Interest in all cars are in a great decline as the youths were never pushed to get involved. Face the music and salute!
