AHa Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Any body heard of a Cutting? There was a story in the HCCA Gazette some years back about an old fellow somewhere out west who had a Cutting and a Norwalk in his barn. A fellow came by one day and offered to get the cars running for him if he would let him take the cars back to his shop. Needless to say, the old fellow never saw the cars again but they turned up later in another Gazette article. Both are now restored; I'm not sure where they ended up. It is a sad story to me. The Gazette article shows the old fellow standing in front of the two cars in his barn grinning from ear to ear. He was obviously very proud of his toys, only to be hoodwinked out of them. This is the Cutting today Edited July 3, 2020 by AHa (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert G. Smits Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) First photo is an artists rendition of the Stanley Rocket. This car made of canvas and glue set a record of 127.6 mph on Jan 23,1906. This record wasn’t broken until by a steam machine until 2009. Edited July 6, 2020 by Robert G.

Robert G. Smits Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 In 1907 Fred Marriott tried to break his own record and hit a rut in the sand at 150mph. He was injured, lost an eye and never raced again. Rumor has it that the car remains were buried in the sand on the beach only to be recovered at a later date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukejunkie1015 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 On June 19, 1919 racing mechanics Fred Comer (left) and Harry Hartz posed in front of the Tacoma Motor Car Company building at 945 Market with two of the cars entered in the annual July 4th races held at the Tacoma Speedway. At this time in racing, the mechanics both worked on the cars and rode with the drivers during the race. Mechanics were frequently killed along with their drivers in crashes. The car to the left is a Chevrolet Special, in actuality a modified Stutz, built and owned by millionaire sportsman Cliff Durant. The second car is a Durant Special, designed and built by Cliff Durant but owned by veteran racer Eddie Hearne. Cliff Durant was the son of William Durant, who founded General Motors, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
