1933 Marvels of the Auto Speed World
Great things are stirring in the speed world! Streamlined race cars, modified stock car speed creations, incredibly fast custom-built racers for assaults against time, are all parts of the changing picture of the most heart-gripping, thrilling sport in the world today—auto racing!
by ROBERT M. ROOF and LEW HOLT
WITH a new automobile speed record of 273 miles an hour recently established by Malcolm Campbell, the internationally famous British speed king, and with several new speed creations along novel lines being groomed for entry in the forthcoming Memorial Day racing classic at Indianapolis, 1933 seems destined to be written down large in speedway history.
Just how extensive has been the influence of such ultra-speed cars as Campbell’s Blue Bird, Segrave’s Golden Arrow, and Kaye Don’s Silver Bullet, can be learned from a study of the pictures which accompany this article. On the opposite page is the latest creation of Harry Hartz, American speed pilot, which he calls “The Spirit of ’76.”
This name derives out of the fact that Hartz is going after Malcolm Campbell’s speed record with the intention of restoring the record to American hands. Several well known automotive engineers are behind Hartz in his effort. Trials will be conducted at Muroc Dry Lake in California.
Particular features of “The Spirit of ’76” are the streamlined body, the small radiator opening, the use of a vertical fin to stabilize steering control, and the top enclosure of half the cockpit opposite the driver to offer as slight air resistance as possible.
Much smaller in all dimensions than the Blue Bird, Hartz believes that his creation has an excellent chance to better Campbell’s record because the car is built to do just that one thing. It is much better streamlined than the Blue Bird, and has considerably less weight to push.
Because of its wide departure from A.A.A. specifications for speedway racers, it is unlikely that the Hartz machine will take part in the 500-mile Indianapolis race. But unquestionably it foreshadows the trend of race car development.
Three Types of Racing
Auto racing as it now stands falls into three general classes—races of custom-built superspeed cars against time (such as Campbell’s Blue Bird, which develops such terrific speeds that it would be suicidal to race a companion car simultaneously on the same track); races such as the Memorial Day classic, on speedways whose car specifications are rigidly specified by racing associations; and dirt track racing—likewise
controlled, to a certain degree, by associations, but allowing much more latitude to the individual driver.
In this latter field modified stock car racing is at present enjoying much popularity. Usually the races are run on a percentage basis, 40% of the gate receipts being appropriated as prizes. Stock car racing gives the amateur driver a chance to demonstrate his ability, and it is from these races that owners of high-priced racing cars pick the drivers to pilot their machines on the big-time speedways.
Modified Stock Car Races
Are modified stock cars fast? They most decidedly are. At Funk’s Motor Speedway, Winchester, Indiana, the fastest half-mile dirt track in the country, a Model A 1929 Ford turned one lap just under 26 seconds. Plenty of big time race cars can’t turn in as flashy a performance on the same track.
Certain well known machines are specially suited for modified stock car racing: Fords (Models A, T, and V8), four and six-cylinder Chevrolets, Plymouths, DeSotos, and Studebakers. Pontiacs also are adaptable.
Since this type of race gives the amateur his best chance, requiring nothing very expensive in the way of equipment, a few details will be given. On the morning of the race day stock cars must qualify for their positions in the race. Usually the ten fastest cars are allowed in the main event, the slower ones in a consolation race which gives them a chance to win some money to defray traveling expenses.
Two 10-mile sprints and a 20 or 30-mile feature race usually comprise the program, with a stunt such as a blindfold race occasionally added. In the latter the driver has a black hood completely covering his head, and he steers his race car entirely by sense of feel—that is, he is so familiar with the race track layout, and can sense position so accurately from the banked turns, that vision is unnecessary. When two blindfold drivers start tearing around the track at the same time, the roaring crowd realizes that it’s looking on a real thrill treat.
A white flag is used to start the regular race. The green flag means the driver is starting the last lap, and the checkered flag is the one the boys all hope for, signifying a winner.
Conduct of Dirt Track Races
When starting a race the drivers are lined up in the order they qualified for. The fastest qualifying car is the pole car, which leads the pack around the track until they are lined up for a flying start. The first lap is the most dangerous, as each driver strives to get into the turn first. After this lap they scatter out and the nerve tension of the drivers is somewhat relaxed.
In modifying stock cars for racing, all fenders, headlights, windshields, tops, and other parts that would cause resistance are removed. Beyond this, procedure varies with each model car. Valve ports of the engine are usually bored out, special valves and aluminum racing pistons installed, high compression obtained through use of special heads, and downdraft carburetor and oversize manifold added.
Ignition systems usually require some changes. Every driver knows that the magneto system is faster than the usual battery type. A special racing coil, which has a double winding with 30,000 turns, is usually used in conjunction with the double-breaker Mallory distributor. This combination generates a very hot and fast spark which requires a special metric racing spark plug to withstand it.
Special fuels are, of course, required to get the most out of the cars. High test gasoline would burn up the valves, so a special dope is added to regular gas.
Modified stock car racing has penetrated to all parts of the world. The Grand Prix Race at Stockholm, Sweden, traveling over mountains, frozen lakes, and dangerous passages, is run with stock cars. Even in far away Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, modified stock car races are held.
Editor’s note: Mr. Roof is chief engineer of the R & R Manufacturing Company, Anderson, Indiana, manufacturers of parts for dirt track racers.
So, I just got home from the beach a few hours ago. Ah, what a good weekend :)
Other than that, I feel nothing. There's nothing I need to say, nothing I feel like I need to do. If there is one thing I need to say it's this: I hope you do what makes you happy, that's all I could want for you. I still can't get you out of my mind, but how your life goes is all in your hands.
I wish there was a way I could go back in time, maybe things would've been a lot better for me now. I'm not complaining, but I am saying there is and always will be room for improvement.
I think I'm going to write a book, The Secret Life of Bee's & Damien Rice's "Cannonball" got me inspired somehow. Listen to it, maybe it'll do the same for you :)

This is what I envision for my blog...I want it to be a place where I can meet friends and we can chat about art, fashion, and handmade goods. I also want it to be a place where I can escape and virtually travel around the world and find all types of great images, artists, fashion, and anything else inspiring to me. And lastly I want this blog to be a place where I can talk about my design process for making handbags. To sum it all up it's an artsy, creative, funky, hip, fresh, approach to sewing while blogging : )

My six-month old kitten was neutered the other day. Little Banksy was a stray we found several months back. We managed to litter train him after a few days and only two accidents (when in doubt, the interweb has every answer you could ever ask, including how to get a kitty born and raised in azalea bushes to use a plastic box for his toilet). Unlike most male kitties, Banksy suffers from a condition known as Cryptorchidism--one dropped testicle. The other testicle was MIA, floating in his innards somewhere. Having one testicle doesn't just make you the joke of the cat world though, it also hurts.
We were informed the neutering surgery would be more extensive than a normal procedure--the vet needed to root around in his abdominal cavity to find the undescended gonad--but the little guy came back to us mangled! I mean, it looks like he was autopsied by the entire CSI: Miami forensic team...or used for a mad scientist's insane experiments.
But I still love him, scars and all!

今もブログを書くのに、「寛平さん！昨日の夜どうでしたっけ？」と聞くぐらい、記憶が，昨日と一昨日とか交錯して、わけがわからなくなっています。
寛平さんの記憶を手がかりに、「夕方まではやさしい海だったのですが、やはり夜は夜で・・・・と」書こうとして昨日のブログを見たら「あれ？」そうです。
それはおとといの夜です。寛平さんもごちゃごちゃになっているようです。このヨットのローリングでグラングランに頭が揺れているのも原因かもしれません。
昨夜は時化なく、１５ノットから２０ノットの優しいかぜの夜で、ふたりでずっと星を見ながらコックピットでながなが話をしていたのでした。
「いよいよやな〜いろいろあったな〜」を主語に、いろいろ話をしました。
今朝は朝から、しっかりと風が吹いています。３０ノットオーバーすることもしばしば。波もしっかりあって「それいけ〜！」とエオラスを、しっかり後ろから押してくれる波です。ありがたやありがたや。（写真がその“お方”）本来なら時化の海ですが、確実に運んでくれる「順風」です。
もうすぐロスだという気持ちと、今までずっと毎日毎日やってきた作業とが交錯し、確かにふたりは、正常ではありません。
ある意味ほんとうの「海人間」になりかけているのかもしれません。（海人間とは“陸の生活”を拒否し、ごみ屋敷と化したヨットらしき乗り物にのった人間で、すべて自給自足の生活をし、風呂や体を洗うことを拒否し、一切文明と孤立した人間のこと）もちろんこんな人間はいません。ふたり冗談で海人間なりましょか！と冗談で言っている、架空の人間のことです。
寛平「うろこ、生えてきた・・・・・、あ！背びれもでてきた・・・」
しかしほんとうの話、寛平さんの手相には「水」という字が浮かび上がっているのです。後でアップしますね。

Well, it's "el fin del camino" for me on the Fox site. How depressing! I'm sitting here in the hotel lounge where my conference is being held -- not the best place to say goodbye to my blogging duties. Sigh. But please check out the competition's farewell blogs ... well, Carrie H. didn't manage to do one but Nadia's is wrongheaded and uninsightful as usual. Viva T-Bag! fox.eprize.net/prisonbreak
