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.

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).Originally posted by David McKinney
Do you need other placings for those, too?
I could help with some
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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?

I understand completely Michael and can see how and why you thought that. Despite our seeming miscommunications, this one I get

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?

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?

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?

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"

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

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.

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 ;)

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:

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"

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...

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
