For that first event we had to define, so far as Whilst praising spirit of one kind we must turn to Harewood was concerned, what was meant by “novice”. purveyors of what was once known as “motor spirit", We came up with the definition “any member who has Shell.

    Auto & Motorcycle Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

  • The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan by Rick Feibusch
    The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan By Rick Feibusch The late 1950's imported car boom in America was fueled by dozens of mechanically interesting and unusual cars that were brought to us from all over the world. American car buyers had gone through the car famine of the war-torn Forties, the reintroduction of outdated prewar models, and the plethora of new cars from US manufacturers, starting with the Studebaker in mid-1946 through the revolutionary Chevy V8s in 1955. One thing was cl ear, American cars were generally getting bigger, faster and flashier by the day. The British had opened the imported car market in the States years before Japanese or European manufacturing firms had recovered from the hostilities. The jaunty MGs, awe i nspiring Jaguars and economical Austins, Hillmans and Morris Minors had demonstrated to America that there was an alternative to the oversized, overpowered and rocket ship styled domestic offerings. Foreign car sales started to climb and actually take of f once cars from Europe and Scandinavia appeared on our shores. By 1957, the numbers had become big enough to alarm the usually lethargic Detroit to a point that the big three had “import fighting” compacts on their respective drawing boards. Americans ha d become less skeptical and the foreign car business was here to stay. The most memorable examples were the sleek and impressive sports and luxury cars imported from Germany and England and low-production Italian exotics. While thousands of clever and ec onomical little transportation devices built by Austin, Morris, Renault, Volkswagen and others made their way to our shores each year.

  • Basic Motoring
    Basic motoring The Evolution of the Modern Ultralight Economy car. Honda Zest Preface I began writing this book because no one else has covered the subject comprehensively, there are a lot of books and web pages on individual models that go into minute often extremely boring details but there is nothing to link all of this class of car together that show how the modern ultralight economy car we use today has evolved. First I must explain what I mean by the rather long winded term ultralight economy car. The type of car or if you prefer automobile, that I refer to below can be classified today by many labels, minicar, economy car, city car, mini compact if you are from USA or an A-segment mini car if you are a European official. None of these describe exactly the type of car I have included in this text. Yes, they were economy cars but very small economy cars with an engine capacity range with some latitude; from 360 cc to 1000 cc. Some could be classed as mini or city cars but not all are and some could be classed as microcars, but they were and are all a relatively low cost form of transport for a great many millions of people around the world in the past and increasingly so today. Page 1 Basic Motoring Austin Voiturette 1909 Introduction. Before the advent of the autobahn, autostrada and motorway, most European urban based car owners and most of those living in the country were content to drive around at a moderate speed, which was all that road conditions would allow.
