Donald Capps Connecting the Dots Or, Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Historians.... The Curious Case of the 1946 Season: An Inconvenient Championship It is practically impossible to kill a myth of this kind once it has become widespread and perhaps reprinted in other books all over the world. L.A. Jackets 1 Inspector Gregory: “Is there any point to which you wish to draw my attention?” Sherlock Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.” Inspector Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.” Sherlock Holmes: “That was the curious incident.” 2 The 1946 season of the American Automobile Association’s National Championship is something of “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” as Winston Churchill remarked about Russia in 1939. What follows are some thoughts regarding that curious, inconvenient season and its fate in the hands of the revisionists. The curious incident regarding the 1946 season is that the national championship season as it was actually conducted that year seems to have vanished and has been replaced with something that is something of exercise in both semantics and rationalization. In 1946, the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association (AAA or Three-A) sanctioned six events which were run to the Contest Rules for national championship events: a minimum race distance of one hundred miles using a track at least one mile in length and for a specified minimum purse, a new requirement beginning with the 1946 season.

    HIS WAS NOT J C. Agajanian's year at Indianapolis. Last year was his Tyear. His and Parnelli Jones'. They were sitting on top of the world then, owner and driver with the fastest speeds and most money won in the history of the 500. This was A. J Foyt's year, and Shirley Murphy's and Bill Ansted's, who own the Sheraton-Thompson roadster Foyt muscled into victory lane. Aggie and Parnelli were sitting sadly on their pit wall this year, their pockets picked of all the speed and money marks, when Foyt rolled home. Aggie, the millionaire Southern California hog­ rancher, garbage-collector and racing­ promoter, one of the sport's most contro­ versial and colorful figures, who hides the light of his balding head under a 10-gal. Stetson, had no complaints. "We're lucky to be alive," he said. 'Had we been running gasoline, and not a methanol blend, neither I nor Parnelli would be around to talk about it," claims 51-year-old Aggie, his olive­ skinned, Armenian face sad and serious. Jones, driving a front-engine heavy­ weight, his rear tank only half-full with methanol, ready to risk extra pit stops in quest of more track speed, was in the lead at 135 miles and pulling away from his first pit stop when his tank blew up. Parnelli twisted and fell free as aides rushed up to slap his smoldering uni­ form, halt his rolling car and douse the blaze with foam. 'We didn't think the rear engines could run 155 mph or more on gas, as they did.
