1949 Aosta – Gran San Bernardo (Corsa in Salita = Racing Hill Climb) of 28 August, 1949 Presentation Edited by John De Boer – the Italian Car Registry (10/22/2019) 1949 Aosta – Gran San Bernardo (Corsa in Salita = Racing Hill Climb) of 28 August, 1949 Presentation edited by John de Boer – The Italian Car Registry (10/22/2019) The captions are mine but the document images should be credited to files held by the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida. This material came from the Joel Finn Collection which contains additional items from Guy Warburton in the UK. A blank entry form Proof Of Liability Insurance for Guy Warburton who raced in a works Allard. Unfortunately, I have no image of this Allard during the event but Warburton wrote down his elapsed time. He also recorded some other times. His written times agree with results that were published. Entries in the Sport 750 and Sport 1100 categories. Note that these smaller categories seemed to be of little interest to Guy Warburton and his Allard. The “Cisitalia” entries were (all but race #102?) prepared by the almost-new “Abarth & Co.” The cars were now marked “SQUADRA CARLO ABARTH” rather than “Squadra Piero Dusio”. Entries in the Sport (Over 1100cc) and Formula 2 & Formula 1 categories. “Gui Warburton” clearly paid more attention to all of these “larger” cars. Focusing on the Sport 750 category: #28 Mario Paesetti entered and raced in his “Fiat”, actually a Siata SC, chassis 006. Another “Fiat”, race #8, is a Stanguellini (chassis CS*04071*) prepared by Rodolfo Patriarca for Sesto Leonardi. The Stanguellini-prepared engine was removed during 1949 and a Giannini engine (G1-021) was fitted. The change was not recorded in official documents until December, 1949 but may well have happened earlier. Another “Fiat” , race #30 appears to be very, very similar to a Dagrada, but perhaps it is merely a similar body by Motto? The documents shown above are held by the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida. I photographed them hastily. The captions and images (above and below) are mine. I have many more that can be shared with others. The images below are from Foto Studio Bertazzini of Torino. During 1987, I was lucky to purchase a number of boxes of glass negatives and plastic negatives in various formats, almost sight unseen. Although the selection was seemingly a bit random and quite incomplete, there is quite a lot of material that has taught me a lot about much of the content and also about how much else may well be available if one continues to search for what is missing. Race #2 is Ugo Puma in his Nardi Danese (N.D.) 750 with BMW twin modified using Nardi parts Aquilino Branca was there in his (race #4) Testadoro (Testa d’Oro) and he finished 3rd in class. There is no image in my clearly incomplete collection of negatives. Sandro Fiorio raced in his “Lancia Ardea”, which we could also describe as “A.L.F.” Sesto Leonardi raced in his “Fiat” that was prepared by Rodolfo Patriarca. He’d raced the car a year earlier when it was still known as “Stanguellini”, the original builder. Chassis CS04071 was probably fitted with a Giannini engine by this time Maria Teresa de Filippis stands alongside the Urania that she will race. The Urania was built by Berardo Taraschi using a 750cc BMW twin generally sourced from military side-car motorcycles left behind in Italy by retreating German troops. Is it Giuseppe “Peppino” Ruggero who is sitting in the car? Ruggero often co-drove with her during 1949. Carlo Abarth and Guido Scagliarini are walking by. This is five months after the formation of Abarth & Co. Maria Teresa told me that she began racing cars in 1948 as the result of a bet of some sort from her brothers, Giuseppe & Antonio, who wondered if she might be as good in a car as she was on horses. She won her category the first time out. Maria Teresa enjoys some attention while awaiting her start time. Maria Teresa de Fillippis in her Urania on the hill-climb race. She went on to race Giaur (Giannini-Urania), OSCA and Maserati A6GCS cars very successfully. She raced a Maserati 250F in Grand Prix events almost ten years later. And there were others. ACTION! Vittorio Mazzonis is in a “Fiat” that resembles a Dagrada. Mazzonis raced other times during 1949 in a car that was described as “Fiat-Giannini”. Mazzonis in his “Fiat” (Fiat-Giannini?) on the climb. A bit more air in the tires might have made the car slide more predictably? Maybe it was “just right”? He hasn’t lost the “FIAT” hubcaps on the right side … YET! Gino Valenzano awaits his start time, sitting on his N.D. BMW 750, Guido Scagliarini seems to want a fist-bump? Probably taken prior to the image above showing Guido and Carlo Abarth(?), they are perhaps checking out all the cars? Luigi “Gino” Valenzano was a major force at Nardi and also in 750cc racing during this time period. A rather special “Fiat” (Sport 750) with Elvio Della Valle about ready to start. Race #24 is entered as “BMW” with Angelo Poggio driving. It seems likely that this is the car that Andrea Curami & Piero Vergnano described in their book, La Sport, as having been built by Emilio Revello of Genova on a Gilco chassis. Mario Paesetti awaits his turn at the wheel of his “Fiat”, actually a “Squadra SIATA” SC (Sport-Corsa), chassis SC006 Renato Ambrosini won the 1948 Italian Sport 750 category championship using SC001 and probably SC002 as well. Mario Paesetti tries hard on the climb in his Siata SC! I would probably have used more air in the tires? Piero Carini awaits his turn prior to the start. Is that Harry Schell standing next to him? It is certainly Mario Paesetti in the Siata SC sitting alongside. Piero Carini awaits his start time on the line in his “Fiat”. This car also resembles a Dagrada … and might be one? Note the built-up “fango” (muddy dirt) on the body inside the right rear wheel. There had been some practice runs? Adolfo Macchieraldo awaits his turn in an Abarth-prepared “Cisitalia”, soon to become known as “Abarth 204/A”. Carlo Abarth is behind and the boy is … perhaps Macchieraldo’s son? Giovanni Bracco (Ferrari, chassis “012 I”) will finish only five seconds behind Piero Taruffi Franci Rol’s Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Competizione, chassis 920002 Antonio Stagnoli is about to start in his “OSCA”, actually a special known as “Borella”, using OSCA engine No. 1301 Alfred Imhof drives an Allard that he may well have bodied for Sydney Allard. Guy Warburton was also racing in an Allard “works” car but I have no photo. Maybe there is one out there? Piero Taruffi in the “Cisitalia F2” car (1200cc) from the “Squadra Carlo Abarth”. He finished first overall. He and Giovanni Bracco were significantly faster than all the rest. I had no idea what this was until I saw the Joel Finn archive at the Revs institute almost two weeks ago. The entry list shows it is a “Maserati 3000” and the driver is Giovanni Minozzi. Is that Fiat 1100A/B/E front suspension? Umberto Maglioli in a Cisitalia D46 The race number begins “10_” but we cannot see it all. I can only presume that it is the Maserati 1500 being driven by Depoy, a name that is new to me. Yeah, there are other images, but some are clearly missing from my small collection. I wonder where they are! .

This subject was substituted by the author for a more traditional academic subject after a chance discussion with a speaker after a research class that was part of the Masters in Liberal Studies in American Culture program. It is in part a historical project, but it attempts to be a history that attempts to connect developments in the sport to broader themes in the study of American culture. This thesis focuses primarily on three institutions. Waterford Hills Road Racing is a club, founded in 1958 eight near Clarkston Michigan in the shadow of the capitol of the American automobile industry (The track is about two miles away from Chrysler’s headquarters). Waterford dates back almost to the beginning of the modem sport in the early nineteen fifties and in its history has reflected developments in the sport itself. Grattan Raceway in Belding Michigan is a family business.

  • Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club “Barn Find” at Alfa of Tacoma It was about a week before the Half-fast Lap last September when my friend, Steve Anderson (now a new club member) called, so excited about a “barn find” he had heard about that he couldn’t even wait for me to finish my shower. An uncle, Steve Bates, had been to his house for dinner the night before, and had told of a 1957 Alfa spider that his brother-in-law had taken to Alfa of Tacoma for repairs in 1977 and never picked up. Steve B’s brother-in-law, Phil George, had lived in Richland and acquired the car in about 1967. Steve remembers that Phil drove the car actively, and on one particular “hold on tight” ride, Phil told him that he and the Alfa “became one” when he drove. Steve had his doubts. When the engine began to show problems, Phil brought it to Alfa of Tacoma. Carlo ended up rebuilding the top and bottom ends, the front suspension, the brakes, and replaced the steering box. Carlo knew the car and said Phil had always taken good care of it, but when it came time to pick it up, he couldn’t pay for it. He stopped by often to see it, though. Phil remarried, but his new wife thought he really didn’t need that car, so there it sat, in the second bay from the window, on jack stands and under a cover. Phil died about five years ago and Lino had no idea how to contact any of the family.

  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

    Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Miles Collier Collections Page 1 of 203 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
