A series of 6 photos shot at Legion Ascot Speedway at the end of the 1930 Pacific Southwest Season for client Dayton Manufacturing Company ordered by Nelson Price of The Weinberg Agency from Dick Whittington Studios. by Dayton Manufacturing Co.

 

The Dick Whittington Studios was the premiere commercial photography company in the Los Angeles area in the 20s through 40s.

 

Shared by Michael Ferner - unknown source that seems to match this promotional photo shoot:

"Francis Quinn, who today receives the beautiful Dick Dodd's (sic! ) Trophy symbolic of the 1930 Pacific Southwest Championship, needs no introduction to the race fans of the Legion Ascot Speedway. He has long been one of the most colorful and spectacular drivers on California tracks and has won himself a host of admirers. Always a clean sportsman and ever willing to give the other fellow a break he typifies all that is clean and fine in the great international sport of automobile racing. At the beginning of the season he had a lot of luck, and it was all bad, but he quickly over rode his many difficulties, and once started, swept on to the Championship. Francis plans on even a greater year in 1931, and for some time has been building a new race car which he expects to have finished and on the track some time in February, with this new car he feels justified in hoping to win the title two years in succession. He will also receive today the beautiful Carrol Photo Service Trophy, which is awarded to the driver, who, with his pit crew, makes the neatest appearance throughout the year. The winning of this trophy is very commendable and bespeaks the characteristics of a champion. (Additionally, Quinn's #8 Dayton Thorobred Special won second place, both in points and in the Frank Verbeck Trophy for best appearing cars)."
