    AMATEUR ROAD RACING IN MICHIGAN THREE INSTITUTIONS By RICHARD RANVILLEJR. Presented to the American Culture Faculty at the University of Michigan-Flint partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Liberal Studies in American Culture JUNE 2009 First Reader DR. BRUCE RUBENSTEIN Second DR. FREDERIC SVOBODA TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 Chapter I A Definition of Road Racing 5 Chapter II History of American Racing 7 Chapter III The American Road Racing Renaissance 13 Chapter IV Janesville Airport 16 Chapter V Grattan Raceway 26 Chapter VI Gingerman Raceway 41 Chapter VII Waterford Hills Road Racing 49 Chapter VIII Conclusion 72 Chapter IX Reflections 76 Notes 78 Appendix 1 INTRODUCTION This thesis discusses amateur road racing in Michigan. 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.

From up there, he must be ecstatic about the one that Automobili Pininfarina has dedicated to him, the Battista, the most powerful car ever designed. et's go back. Pininfarina, whose birth name was simply Farina, created Lthe company of the same name in 1930. He was 37 years old at the time. Since his childhood he has maintained close relations with Giovanni Agnelli, founder of FIAT, and Vincenzo Lancia. Two names that will allow the young body designer to quickly reach a notoriety based on the incredible fluidity of the lines of the vehicles he designs. One of the secrets of the balance of these silhouettes lies in the fact that, from the very beginning, the company invested in a wind tunnel, which allowed the design of the bodywork to be optimized. For decades, leading manufacturers have entrusted their most beautiful models to the pencils of the Italian company. But times are changing. Firms set up their own design studios and Pininfarina declines. The red numbers are looking dangerously high, reaching 204 million euros in losses in 2008.

    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.
