1935 Eastern - Bob Sall runner-up to Mackenzie
1935 Midwest - Chet Gardner runner-up to Stapp
1937 Central States - 1 Everett Saylor, 2 Joie Chitwood
1938 Midwest - Duke Nalon 5th
1941 Eastern - Duke Nalon 6th

Oh, and btw, the 1937 data is from the CSRA Championship - I actually have much better data for those than AAA: top 15 for 1942, 25 for 1940/41, top 35 for 1937-9 and top 70 for 1936!!! :lol:

point figures? Anything appreciated!!! Thnx! [/B]


This is from a bunch of photocopies sent to me of "The Complete Ray Kuns Auto Racing Book" by Idaho Don.

mid-western dirt track championship point standings -- 1933

name, city, no. of events, points

"Chet" Gardner, Long Beach, Cal., 7, 456
Sam Hoffman, Sioux City, Iowa, 5, 432
Sam Palmer, Los Angeles, Cal., 9, 413
Ira Hall, Terre Haute, Ind., 8, 363
Wilbur Shaw, Hollywood, Cal., 2, 360
Mauri Rose, Columbus, Ohio, 7, 350
John Sawyer, Milwaukee, Wis., 9, 334
Clay Corbitt, Columbus, Ohio, 5, 306
"Bill" Cummings, Pasadena, Cal., 5, 184
Frank Brisko, Milwaukee, Wis., 4, 161

eastern dirt track championship point standings -- 1933

name, city, no. of events, points

Bob Sall, Hawthorned, N.J., 35, 1074
John C. Hannon, Bridgeport, Pa., 26, 1036
Billy Winn, Kansas City, Mo., 22, 672
Geo. D. "Doc" Mackenzie, Eddington, Pa., 25, 536
Lloyd Vieaux, Los Angeles, Cal., 22, 499
John Gerber, Stanwood, Iowa, 13, 372
Kenneth Fowler, Paterson, N.J., 22, 371
Harris Insinger, Germantown, Pa., 16, 348
Jimmy Patterson, Philadelphia, Pa., 19, 328
Maynard Clark, Milan, Ill., 14, 304

The only number that stands out is the "35" races Bob Sall ran. Might be a typo as it is way out of whack with everyone else's numbers. But maybe there were 35 races and Bob ran them.

From the July 1978 (volume 4, number 4) issue of Old Car Illustrated, an article entitled "A Long Look Back: part one", pages 14 - 21:

1932 final AAA Pacific Coast championship point standings

1, Ernie Triplett, 841.88

7, Red Clark, 128.46
8, Pierre Bertrand, 102.06

10, Ted Horn, 87.43

Not sure what's up with the 1932 Arvol Brummier (spelled with two "ems") being "(retired)". And the 1934 top ten is a bit different from your info.

I did double check the info from the article with what I typed in.

David, do you have Microsoft Excel? If so, I'll mail you an Excel sheet with what I have, to avoid duplication, and for your enjoyment (it contains quite a bit of extra info).

On second thoughts, please post what you have, if it isn't too much work - it'll be interesting to see what other sources yield, since some of mine are a bit suspect. I can mail you the Excel sheet anyway.

Brian, that's simply brilliant! :up:

A few points: Bob Sall may very well have driven in 35 races in 1933, there were certainly more championship rounds than that - I have dates for 56 races in 1933, and I don't think my list is complete! The Hankinson circuit was BIG in those days: I have four races for Labour Day and five races for Oct 7 alone...

About Brunmier (I believe that's the correct spelling), these year-end tabulations were sometimes a bit quirky, in that they were mostly ordered by competition numbers for the following year, which then often ignored deceased and retired drivers, as well as numbers 11, 13, 20 and so on. Brunmier retired very publically after marrying on the Ascot homestraight, so by the common logic he would have no use for a number in 1933, hence his omission from the point standings.

The annual preview of the big car racing in the Mid-West 1935 was very superficial and contains no list of point scorers, stating that big car races were "few and far between". Babe Stapp was stated as the champion.

1936 Mid-West

1 Rex Mays 408
2 Wilbur Shaw 310.5
3 Chet Gardner 288
4 Billy Winn 274
5 Bill Cummings 232
6 Frank McGurk 199.5
7 Tony Willman 192
8 Ted Horn 163.5
9 Frank Brisco 140
10 Emil Andres 136

(NARN 10 Dec, 1936 p4)


1936 Eastern

1 Frank Bailey 990.4
2 Tommy Hinnershitz 902.2
3 Vern Orenduff 582.2
4 Bob Sall 581.4
5 Frank Beeder 558
6 Johnny Duncan 547.1
7 Tony Willman 425.2
8 Ken Fowler 362.8
9 Len Perry 323.3
10 Harry Angeloni 315.2

(NARN 3 Dec, 1936, p9)

Sadly there is no record of final point scorers for either the 1937 and 1938 Eastern or Mid-West divisions in NARN that I can find.

Thanks again, John!

Yes, the Midwestern Circuit was always the poor relation of its two brethren, but ironically 50 years later it was all that was left for USAC! In the thirties, there were typically about one to two dozen races in the Midwest compared to ca. 40 to 50 high-$$$ events on the "left" coast and usually more than 60 races in the East. By the end of the fifties, USAC's presence west of the Rockies was zilch, and the Eastern Circuit had lost more than 90% of its races to rival sanctioning bodies, stock car racing and... television!

For the record, here are the pre-war non-AAA Big Car Champions that I know of, perversly starting with the AAA "Class B" Champions:

ARA (American Racing Association - CA)
1928 Jack Buxton (?)
=> NARC in 1960

WARA (Western Auto Racing Association - WA, OR, CA), possibly Washington Auto Racing Association

WRA (Western Racing Association - CA)
=> CRA in 1954


Looking at this list, ARA is definitely the group that became NARC and competed in Northern/Central California. I can't explain Buxton, the one glaring difference from the Northern California drivers (oh, and the year as well).

The WARA is Washington state.

WRA did not became CRA. CRA was a separate entity that ran roadsters and eventually allowed Sprint Cars in with them and then finally switched over to Sprint Car bodywork around 1957. As I understand it, J.C. Agajanian folded the WRA to allow for AAA sanctioning c. 1950.

WRA
1941 - Kenny Palmer

Kenny Palmer also listed as "unofficial" 1948 WRA champion as he was leading the point standings when the association was merged with ARA.

All of this, and more, in the 1949 West Coast Annual, including an item on the cessation of the WRA during the 1948 season. Also full points for 1948 AAA Pacific Coast :wave:

Profiles and short bios of the drivers in Sprints, Midgets, CRA and Stock Cars. Points and re-caps of AAA.

If you are interested in those Michael, start a post-WWII thread (or bump an existing one back) and I'll post it there.

:clap: Fabulous, John, thank you! :clap:

Jim, I am aware that the CRA was a seperate organisation, it's just that I read somewhere that WRA collpased in 1953 and 1954 was the first of the four "change-over" years from roadsters to sprinters for CRA, so I thought of it as a de facto continuation of a line... never mind, just scratch it! :D

Now you're telling me WRA merged with ARA after Aggie left? Hm, that would be news to me but I suppose it's possible. OTOH I wouldn't be surprised if the 1950 West Coast Annual had an item on the launch of a "new" WRA... Also, I have a note about the famous Midget organisation URA presenting Sprint Car races in 1952 and '53!?

Am I interested in the 1949 West Coast Annual? Was Bill France a stock car fan?

Another thing: the MDTRA (Midwestern Dirt Track Racing Association), running mostly in Indiana, was quite likely already in existence before WW2, but I don't have any champions until after the war.

I understand completely Michael and can see how and why you thought that. Despite our seeming miscommunications, this one I get :D I had thought the WRA collapsed c. 1950 or 1951.

It is and was, at least according to the Annual. I do not have anything on URA Sprints.

As far as wondering if you would be interested...yes, that was a rather silly question, wasn't it? ;)

Was Fangio a good driver?

Did A. J. Foyt have a long career?

Is the Indy 500 a famous race?

Is the Nürburgring Nordschleife a difficult circuit?

Is Don Capps a grouchy old man?

Found a bit of info in the short profiles of inductees to the Sprint Car Hall of Fame, a few of which are excellently researched and written by people like Donald Davidson or Don Radbruch, others are drivel coming straight from dodgy sources like John Lucero's Legion Ascot book, but anyway:

1932 Eastern Circuit (perhaps inofficial, sources are split)

1 Bryan Saulpaugh
2 Billy Winn
3 Bob Sall


1934 Eastern Circuit

1 Johnny Hannon
2 Billy Winn


1937 Eastern Circuit

1 Frankie Beeder
2 Bob Sall


1937 Midwest

1 Rex Mays
2 Jimmy Snyder
3 Billy Winn


1938 Eastern Circuit

1 Duke Nalon
2 Tommy Hinnershitz

Here's an example of the scope of these championships, and even if the list is probably not complete, the number of races is quite typical for the entire period of the thirties. You can see that the National Championship was but a VERY SMALL part of the US racing scene in those years!

!!!The data is not only incomplete, but also quite suspect in a number of cases, especially entrant and car info!!!

Date		D  CR  St  Venue		 TT   RD  Winner				Team/Owner			Chassis			   Engine				Time

Great find, Brian!!! :up: :up: :kiss:

Do you have access to the New York Times archive? I have found the free access to their pre-1923 stuff quite helpful, and there're certainly a lot of "nuggets" still hidden in the later issues, but I can't figure out a way of getting access without actually subscribing or paying through your nose - I think an article like that would be around four bucks? :drunk:

Uhh, the headaches... Now I have three different distances for the feature race: five, ten or twenty miles??? And judging from the published time for the event, it may as well have been 12½...

Also, a few names misspelled: I think it's Bill Neopolitan, Firman Lawshe, Harris Insinger, Bill Hoffman and Lloyd Broshart. Furthermore, I have no Leslie Johnson in my database (apart from the Englishman of ERA "fame" ;)), and I wonder if it's not indeed Wes Johnson. Finally, I would think the feature race would have been the last ten-mile race listed, the "Bicentennial Handicap", not the one won by Broshart - that must've been the "consi", which would also explain the slow time.

All in all, pretty much the standard of motor racing coverage back then... :|

My New York Times stuff comes from the big index volumes found in various libraries. Automobile racing is one category, deaths (sadly) in automobile racing is another. Then it's the old microfilm machine and printer. So the article, mistakes and all, is what was printed those many years ago. And beyond travel time, parking costs and other stuff the item cost 15 cents. Manageable. ;)

Well, if you live in the states, then maybe, but I'm stuck here in Europe and I believe that travel costs and parking time would come into play here! :(;)

About the mistakes in the article, as I said it's pretty much the standard of the (non-capital!) times, you get used to it and with a little experience you can deal with it alright. Also manageable.

Thank you for the the 1932 and 1933 tables :up:

I have an explanation for the ? for San Diego. IIRC, Silvergate Speedway's first race was AAA sanctioned, but all other races at the track were not.

Something you might run into with Goshen, CA as your year by years continue ;)

Thanks, and it does come as no surprise! In fact, several of the Californian meets are questionable (AAA or not), and some may have been "Class B" events. I will post the 1934 races soon, which is probably the best year for completeness of information; after that it tapers off rather quickly :( FYI, I don't think I have any races at Goshen, CA - just NY! :)

Union Speedway in Union, NJ is one of the few "weekly" tracks that were part of a AAA Championship circuit, the only others I can think of being Woodbridge Speedway, just ten miles to the south, and Legion Ascot Speedway on the other side of the continent.

Through lucky circumstance did I have access to almost full results for most of the 1939 races at Union Speedway, the track running every Tuesday May through August, and then Sundays in September and October. Of the 26 possible dates, only five were rained out, so we are looking at a total of 21 races.

Most features ran over 15 miles, with a couple of 25-milers and a 30-miler thrown in for good measure. Heats were usually over ten laps of the half-mile circuit. Name drivers did not show up very often, and the regulars were all locals, but of those Bill Holland would go on to have quite a career - this was only his second year of AAA competition. Johnny Ulesky, however, wound up winning the track championship for the second time, after 1937.

The figures don't add up correctly because I'm missing some info from a handful of races, but it's a good overview nonetheless:

As mentioned earlier, the data for 1934 is quite good, though I may have missed a number of races! :|

!!!The data is not only incomplete, but also quite suspect in a number of cases, especially entrant and car info!!!

A last post before I let this one die for lack of interest, here's a list of championship winning engines, i.e. engines used (mostly) by the champion driver. It's interesting to note that it wasn't all Miller and Offenhauser, as one is led to believe all too often; there was quite a lot of variety, especially in the thirties!

!!!Again, caution is to be exercised as to the correctness of the info - it's just as good as my research has been so far!!!!

	  East		   Midwest		Pacific Coast

1929  ---			---			Fronty

1930  ---			---			Miller, Fronty

1931  ---			---			Schofield, Miller

1932  Fronty		 ---			Miller

1933  Vance		  Miller		 Sparks

1934  Miller		 Vance		  Winfield

1935  Cragar		 Miller		 Miller

1936  Hal			Sparks		 ---

1937  McDowell	   Sparks		 ---

1938  Dreyer		 Miller		 ---

1939  Offenhauser	Miller		 ---

1940  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	---

1941  Offenhauser	Dreyer		 ---



1947  Offenhauser	Hal			---

1948  Offenhauser	Vance		  Offenhauser

1949  Offenhauser	Dreyer		 Offenhauser

1950  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	Offenhauser

1951  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	Offenhauser

1952  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	Offenhauser

1953  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	---

1954  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	---

1955  Offenhauser	Offenhauser	---

Yes, it's rare to find, also for me!;) That's why I posted what I have, in the hope that somebody might be able to fill in some data. It worked with the Championship Top Tens, but not with the race results, and therefore I have stopped. :)

Don't stop Michael, how about this?...

Bakersfield, CA January 3, 1932

Ernie Triplett won, as per your data, but he was followed by Babe Stapp in second and Bill Cummings finished third. Gus Shrader (sic) crashed. Lou Meyer was fast qualifier with a new record of 36.64 (the previous record was 37.63).

Bob Cary (sic), Louie Schneider, Chet Gardiner (sic), Lou Moore, Kelly Petello (sic) and Al Gordon listed in results or race report. Schneider drove "his two-man Indianapolis car"

How good was Carey? He seems to have streaked across the scene like a meteor...

Thanks, Jim :kiss: :up:

I'd say at the very least that is a start! Let the goodies roll in, and I'll reconsider...;)

About Carey, he was a "stand-on-it guy", always full bore and maximum risk - actually it's a wonder he lived that long... :(

I've made a bit progress on the points front, and since there have been so many helping hands here I thought I might share:

1934 East

1 Johnny Hannon, 947
2 Billy Winn, 708
3 Ben Shaw, 687
4 Malcolm Fox, 614
5 Bob Sall, 522

1935 Midwest

1 Babe Stapp, 570
2 Chet Gardner, 472
3 Maynard Clark, 448

Also, I'm beginning to get a grip on the scoring systems in use, although there's much confusion! To start with, apparently each region had its own scoring, with the followng scores for wins in a 100 mile race:

Pacific Coast: 83.33 points (1933)
East Coast: 240 points (1934)
Midwest: 120 points (1935)

As far as I can make out, the East still had the same scoring in 1936, but I can't be sure if the scoring was linear (especially in the West), i.e. what the score was for a 50, 30 or 20 mile race.

A few more Hankinson placings:

1939: 2 Willman, 3 Light (?)
1940: 2 Chitwood, 3 Sall
