I think Don Noel raced with no alias. I actually met Don once in the 1990's at his son's body shop in west Los Angeles. I got to say Don must have had access to the Fountain of Youth. He looked like

Here are some Jalopy links I found. The first shows a restored jalopy that is a veteran of CJA and is now part of a family collection.

Chuck, thanks for answering Bill. Interestingly, at one point, Culver City was alternating races for CJA jalopies with PRA hardtops. What makes it difficult to sort out is many of the same drivers

Thanks to all who have replied on the CJA queries, I really appreciate the help! Tom, after I'd asked, I found results (from Lincoln Park) that listed Ben Snyder. One other driver I'm curious about,

Bill, the jalopies of the CJA were mostly Model A and Model B fords with flathead V-8s for power. I still shudder to think of all the "Little Deuce Coupes" that ended their life this way. They would

My father (Otto) saw the Talbots at Langhorne in '41, later Duntov (Talbot) and Red Byron (Duesenberg/Ford) would stay at his house in N. Philadelphia when they ran Langhorne AAA races (Otto ran there

I would like to thank both Al Isselhard and Roger Linton for their help on identifying my two photographs of Talbots. Their confirmation together with what I already knew solve the whole riddle for

My water damage to a lifetime of private photos and most of my jalopy research has suffered to profound water exposure, even when they are in plastic tubs and covered by a tarp. To say it's

Bob, Tom and Bob, Thanks! Great information. Tom, I have your CJA book, but it is packed tightly away in an overstuffed closet after a quick, chaotic move to a far smaller place last year. So, Tom, I

Kudos to you guys for creating and publishing a historical account for these drivers and tracks. Question: What were the rules for the cars? My impression from those types of events in Texas back in

Bill Mitchell was a different driver. He raced the same period. I’m out of town so I don’t have access to a couple articles on Termite which gives his real name. Same with Fuzzy. If it’s not

"Termite" Snyder's real first name was "Ben". The others you listed I really don't know. In my book I have a long list of racers who performed under an alias, but I put the book back in storage. I

Tom, I've already compiled most of it, at home! So many newspapers are available online now. The Times was great about covering the Sunday afternoon races, and the main part of the Saturday night

Tom, Excellent! Thanks. By any chance, what was "Termite" Snyder's given first name? Some results have "Terry." Was Fuzzy Anderson's real first name, Wendell? I have a Bill Mitchell in Culver City

From my research that included microfilms from the Los Angeles Times from 1954-1963 and just pertaining to Gardena Stadium/Western Speedway, the results hold up, as stated. There were about 5% of
