THE HfJ T RfJ/J SHfJ W

THIS second annual Hot Rod Expo­sition and Automotive Equipment

Display is another milestone in the growth and progress of the Southern California Timing Association, Inc.

This exposition is a bigger, better and more representative presentation than last year's show. It is the culmi­nation of a year of planning and work by the Association officers and members and the Hollywood Associates, Inc., Ex­position Directors.

Once again, the show is staged as a public relations project for the South­ern California Timing Association. Once again, the theme is safety and once again the keynote is co-operation with law enforcement agencies and other organizations concerned with re­duction of the accident toll in Southern California.

The sponsors and the show directors hope that you will discover in this ex­position more than a mere display of technical interest. The underlying sig­nificance is far greater and more Im­portant than that.

When you view the cars on exhibit and the various specially designed ac­cessories and parts, you are seeing con­crete evidence of _ youthful American ingenuity, inventiveness, energy and untold hours, days and months of painstaking work.

You are witnessing the physical as­pects of an activity which has three separate facets-a hobby, a sport and a commercial venture. The hobby of designing, b~ilding and improving au­tomobiles provides a constructive occu­pation for idle hours. The sport of test­ing these cars against similar cars built by fellow club members gives an outlet for young America's zest for competi­tion.

The commercial aspect, in many in­stances, permits these young men to turn a hobby into a profitable career wherein they may indulge their love of machines and things mechanical.

The story of the Timing Association is the traditional story of young Amer-

Six

The new look has invaded the automotive field, at least at the Dry Lakes compe­tition. The trend is now toward more and better streamlining and m'any new and unusual desigris have made their initial appearances in the meets this past y·ear. Most popular innovation is the adaption of the aircraft belly-tank into universal -use as an economical aid to streamlining. One new look number which caused much comment both pro and con was the Cadillac powered rear engine roadster belonging to ex-S.C.T.A. president Ak Miller. This car, known to Ak's friends as "The Hot Dog," is equipped with. a 1923 roadster body and used an aluminum P-38 fuel tank nose for its hood, shell and griHe. At least that's what it says in the official S.C.T.A. program put out by Wally Parks and Bony Willis.

icans who share a common interest. It is a story of an obscure beginning, rather crude and inefficient operation, of trial and error. It is a story of growth and development over a period of II years, interrupted by war which saw a decimation of the membership roster.

This phase of the story is in itself a heroic chapter, but one with which we are not primarily concerned here. Suf­fice to say that several of the air corps' top pilots had their early training in mechanics on the dry lakes in this area, and to recall that numerous S.C.T.A. men were with Gen. Patton's tank corps in the break through a·t Ardennes.

Now, II years after the Association was incorporated and adopted opera­tiona! rules and by-laws, including

' strict adherence to the California Mo­tor Vehicle code, the organization · claims a membership of more than I,OOO young men who are enrolled in 37 clubs located in nearly every com­munity throughout this area.

The time trials, which the Associa­tion conducts at El Mirage dry lakes, comprise the central activity of the or­ganization. There, the members run their machines over a measured _course under the strictest supervision. · This supervision includes a rigid inspection .of equipment by a technical committee schooled in every department of auto­mobile construction. It includes a me­ticulous check of the course and a screening of the drivers before any roadster is allowed at the starting line.

This careful attention to detail is the result of an evolutionary process after

Association _officers saw the need for added precautionary measures as the time trials increased in popularity and the membership doubled and tripled.

The attention and interest. of the Association members in safety is not limited to the locale of the time trials. The S.C.T.A. is just as interested in safety on the streets and highways.

R~alizing that good equipment IS

just as important in the prevention of accidents as careful driving, the Asso­ciation makes a fetish of building good cars. They have no high regard for a self-styled Hot Rod operator who drives inferior equipment. Such a driver is, in their opinion, a menace not only to himself, but to the public as well.

The show - off, the reckless and thoughtless car operator is held in low esteem and can expect only criticism and censure from Association members.

A superficial or hurried inspection of the display cars will not allow you to

note the stress that is placed on safety. Check the under-structure, the brakes, the bracing, the tires, and you will dis­cover that these roadsters are more sol­idly and safely constructed than your own automobile.

Look at the power plants and the various innovations employed by the owners to obtain better motor perform­ance. Inspect the body design and note the desire for simplicity; the absence of what the members call "gook." Ob­serve the balance and the roadability of the sleek roadsters. These features are not mere fads; they all serve a practical purpose.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM

All of the refinements which make these automobiles different from the stock car represent endless hours of

experiment, change-over, testing and rebuilding. No one satisfied with any­thing less than technological perfection would have the patience to undertake such a project.

The interest of noted automotive

engineers in the accomplishments of these young Southern Californians is indication that this is not a frivolous nor .transient pastime. The exhibit which unfolds itself before you on this exposition floor is further evidence of the stability and permanence of the

sport.

You will see here a display by the Traffic Education of · the Los Angeles Police Department, an indication of the willingness of the S.C.T.A. to work on a friendly cordial basis with law en­forcement agencies towards safety and closer observance of the traffic laws.

The exhibits by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are significant of the confidence and faith this seg­ment of the automotive business reposes in this exposition as a show case of the activities and accomplishments of the

Association.

The motorcycle display which is one of the principal features of the exposi­tion is an added attraction this year. Sparing no effort to present an attrac­tive exhibit, the motorcycle industry and leaders of the sport of ~otorcycling are desirous that you spectators acquaint yourselves with this growing diversion.

Foreign car~ and speed boats also in­vite your attention in the array of ex·

hibits.

It is the sincere hope of the sponsors and the show management that when you leave this auditorium you will have a little better appreciation of the activi­ties of the S.C.T.A., their aims and pur­poses . It is also the desire of the Asso­ciation members that you will tell your friends and neighbors about this show and ask them to attend. We will en­deavor to make their visit a pleasant

and profitable one.

1fJfJR !JEST FRIEND

THE friendly relationship that exis ts between the Southern California Tim­

ing Association and law enforcement agencies, generally, is considered one of the major factors in the acciden t reduction rate in this area.

The desire to co-operate with the California Highway Patrol, the various police departments and sheriffs' offices

. in Southern California in an effort to

eliminate reckless driving, "drag" races, speeding on streets and highways, etc. has begun to pay dividends.

Whereas an occasional " screwball" may get a little lead-footed, the over-all record of the Association in strict ob­servance of traffic regulations is one in which the S.C.T.A. t akes justifiable pride.

THE'' C(JP'' The old ommoded idea that a traffic

officer is per se an enemy or a baleful individual just waiting to spoil some­body's fun has long since gone by the board. In fact , during the past few years, a large number of Assciation members have become members of law enforcement agencies and there is a bond of understanding and camaraderie existing between them.

This spirit of co-operation is not native to any particular community in . this section. The club insignia on a roadster is usually sufficient evidence to any traffic officer that the driver is a member in good standing in the S.C. T.A. and therefore not likely to be a traffic law violator.

The very fact that the club members carry such insignia is an indication t hat the cars on which they appear are cap­able of high speeds but it is also a pretty fair indication that the driver will not attempt such speeds except in competi­tion on the dry lake beds.

The enrollment pledge of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Na tional Safety Council was administered to the South­ern California Timing Association by Judge Roger C. Pfaff and it is notable that not one of the pledged members has been hailed into court on a serious traffic infraction. This record is far better than the record of the average motorist whose car is not capable of such grea t speed.

T he Association welcomes the friend­liness of law enforcement agencies and stands ready at all t imes to lend its assistance and co-operation in the cam­paign against death and accidents on the highways.

+-%* Pictured just prior to taking off on a r'ecord run through the El Mirage course is Nick Christos of the Dusters in his 1932 roadster equipped wifh a 1948 Mercury engine. In the background can be observed official timer Commodore Crocker together with recorder AI Lindsley as they prepa~e to compile statistics on Christos' run through the traps.

~ One of the features of Bob Rufi's car is the. enclosed cock­pit. Because of close quarters in the compartment it is necessary to remove the ste:e,ring wheel before the driver is able to emerge after a run. An advanced feature in this car's make-up is the com,plete fire control system installed in the engine compart­ment. Another important safety development pioneered by the youthful members of the S.C.T.A.

-<~ In spite of its age, Bob Rufi's Chevrolet four rear engine streamliner constructed in 1939 maintains its place right up among the leaders in today's competition in S.C.T.A. time trials. Built in Rufi's home garage the car is of aircraft-type construction fea­turing thin sheet aluminum covering over a tubing frame. Rufi was S.C. T.A. champion in 1940 and still maintains a high stand­ing in present day competition.

-<~ One of the S.C.T.A. time trials most familiar figures is the ever present chief timer, Commodore J. Otto Crocker, who with his electronic operated timer, clocks every car who runs the traps on a record run. Crocker, seated along with Jim Lindsey, recorder, who, incidentally is the originator of the three lane starting light system used at the El Mirage course, regulate the running of the event and their prt~cision-like efforts show in the smooth manner in which the events are always run off. Both are pioneer members of the S.C.T.A. and have contributed immeas­urably to bring the sport to the high level of efficiency it now enjoys and have been instrumental in obtaining national recog­nition of the S.C.T.A. time trials conducted regularly. at the El Mirage Dry Lake cour~e near Victorville. ·

Pictured above is Jack Avakian's No. 61 "Little Red Wagon" which made its first appearance in an early autumn meet. Thirteen nights of feverish work "resulted in a nifty third­place spot in the Class "B" competition with a speed of 135.54 m.p.h. Jack, a member of the Road Runners, is justly proud· of his roadster which sports a '46 Mere. engine, a 1925 model "T" frame and body, and a Navarro head.

Poised for a quick getaway for a record run through the El Mirage Dry Lake traps is a highly respected m~.mber of the L. A. Gophers, Frank Leonard. Frank in his little "C" Class road!;ter coasting an over-all weight of just 1270 pounds has been clocked at 131 m.p.h. on one of his recent runs. Leon­ard's car, constructed especially for lakes competition has a Mere. engine, a model "T" roadster body, Pounden ignition.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM

Huddled around la'st year's champion, Doug ·Hartelt of Fullerton, are a group of Lake's competitors to obtain helpful hints -on Doug's point-winning ways. Doug's Mercury "T" Class "B" roadster has b·een clocked at 140.180 m.p.h. and holds the S.C.T.A. Class "B" record with an average of better than 134 m.p.h. Doug is a member of the Lancers Club and his outstanding efforts have shown in the groups fine competitive standings.

Up from San Diego is Paul Schiefer at the wheel of his fast "C" Class entry which has been clocked at 148.02 m.p.h. Schi·efer is but one of the many San Diego enthusiasts who make regular journ'ey's to the S.C.T.A. time trials at El Mirage Dry Lake near Victorville. His car is a tubular frame Mercury "T" roadster and uses an Eidelbrok head and manifold, Harmon Cam, and Pounden ignition.

Combining efforts San Gabriel's Bill Burke and Alhambra's Don Francisco have designed and built the world's fastest Hot Rod, a rear engine Mercury bellytank which has been clocked at a sensational 153.32 m.p.h. Another interesting sidelight to t his record-breaking p.erformance is the fact that this is the fastest speed a Mercury motor has ever traveled at any time.

SIIIETY. • • In Con1tructlon

}N THE belief that nearly as many accidents are caused by faulty equip­

ment as by careless driving, the South­ern California Timing Association mem­bers make a fetish of operating cars that are mechanically sound.

To demonstrate the type of work­manship they put in their own cars and to display the meticulous attention to detail they observe in building their sleek roadsters, a group of Association members are constructing two cars here at the show. ,

In the pavilion, crews of mechanics under the direction of Lou Baney and Bill Burke, top craftsmen in their field, are rebuilding and renovating two old model roadsters from the frame up. If you observe the building progress from day to day or even weekend to week­end, you will note the special care that is devoted to the safety elements of the machines.

Witness the installation of the brak­ing systems, observe the precise check of the frames, the axles, the steering mechanism, the transmission and the differential. Watch the careful testing of the instrument panels before they are ins tailed.

No detail is too small to escape the consideration of these mechanics if it deals directly with the operation or safe­ty of the machine.

The chief purpose of this demon­stration is not to allow these S.C.T.A.

members an opportunity to display their ability, but rather is an educational

feature aimed at instructing youthful ca~: owners, e>r prospective builders in the m:,1nner that experts employ when they undertake such a job.

A poorly built or carelessly put to­gether roadster would not be allowed to participate in the time trials con­ducted by the Association and it is doubtful that the application of the owner of such a car for membership would be given serious consideration.

The marked decrease in hot rod ac­cidents in Los Angeles during the past year may be credited in part to the car building demonstration given by Asso­ciation members at their first exposi­tion last January. The intense interest evidenced in this feature by young driv­ers satisfied the construction crew that their work was obtaining the desired results.

The two cars being built at this year's exposition represent a very sub­stantial monetary sum. These cars are to be awarded as door prizes on the final night of the show. It is the sincere wish of the builders that whoever is fortun­ate enough to win either of these ma­chines will observe the same care and caution in their operation that the S.C.T.A. crew observed in their con­struction.

WE SELL THE WINNERS!! It has been our pleasure to sell the record breaking Standard Models of

PREK1 THE newly elected pre.Sident of the

Southern California T iming Associa­tion, Inc. is George Prussel of Pasadena, Calif, a very modest young fellow who was a bit backward about permitting his photo to be used. However, you'll be able to find George without much difficulty because he's probably just

about the busiest chap on this Exposi­tion floor. George is a veteran of World War II having ser>ed four years in the air corps. He has been a member of the S.C. T.A. since 19 3 8 and one of his first cars gloried in the ra ther odd mon­

iker of a Winfield Flat Head. Resum­ing participation in Timing Associa­tion activities at the close of the war, George was named assistant starter in 1947 and his faculty for leadership and sound decision finally brought about his election to the presidency this year. George is married and attends U.S.C. where he is majoring in commerce. Mr. Prussel is typical of the excellent lead­ership the S.C.T.A. has had since its incorporation.
