Vintage (Old Photographs Only) Pics of the Day

Good stuff Dave. Maybe 30 years ago ! I've become friends with many of the racers over the years just by having a few momentos to talk to them about. The only one that I got an autograph from was Dick Klamfoth. I bought this at Wauseon 1/2 hour before Dick was signing autographs. We talked & his son in law spent time reading about his wife who was 7 years old in the magazine pics. Dick & I were friends from then until he passed.

Got Dick's autograph, too. There's a lot about him in these clippings; headlines of him winning, photos of him and his wife, etc. Maybe I'll bring some of this stuff to Davenport for you to look at.

When talking to Tuman, Hill, Klamfoth, I mentioned that Dick looked like a beatnik with his goatee. Bobby spoke first "He was a beatnik, he lived on the beach when he was at Daytona ! Dick laughed & said he was a beatnik ! I asked him if he played bongos & he laughed & said he didn't but he had considered learning how to !
Fun times with great guys ! Daytona 1952 program, Dick & his wife top right.

In 1938 Spannagle was a mechanic for H.E. Siepmann. I also looked at 1939 and 1940 info without finding Spannagle as an entrant, possibly ran the 100 miler.
