There's no cost, by the way.Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a set of forums there, including Nostalgia, which is well used. Post some pics of your Stutz racer, and what you know of it, and ask if anyone else may know more, or have links for you to try.One thought though: Even though the racer has some "Boston" heritage, what makes you believe that it might have raced only in or around Boston? There was a lot of racing activity in New York, Connecticutt, New Hampshire in those days, and it is quite possible the car may have run in races in those states as well?Also, some contact with the Harry A. Miller Club (dedicated to Miller race cars, their descendants, as well as their competitors--in short, a group with a lot of collective knowledge about American racing in the 20's and 30's).These are but a start, there surely are more potential sources out there.Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Art,I posted to Atlas F1 forum when you first mentioned it. Haven't really gotten much of a response there. That is a good point about making a broader search as related to racing and I was planning on doing that. There was a "Schumacher-Cusick" special that ran in the 37 Vanderbilt cup which is not the same car (Ford powered monoposto) but perhaps a relation. Thanks, A.J.
