Looking for Old Quater Midgets
I am on a bit of a crusade to find some old Quater Midgets ('58 thru '65)
Our family raced in the Southern California region in that era and I am looking for four types of cars in particular:
1) Sidewinder Quarter Midget (i.e. #69 Eddie Lazinski car)
2) 1960 Pacemaker
3) 1962 Pacemaker Roadster
4) 1962 Curtis Craft (Same as Ron "Sleepy" Tripp dove)
My interest is in obtaining and restoring these cars to original paint and signage, so any photographs will be welcome too. If the complete cars are not available, any body work you know of would be a good start.
Thanks, John

This should whet your appetite!
This picture sits on my desk. August 6th, 1971, San Gabriel Valley Speedway. I'm #79, the terrified looking one. I wish I knew where that car was today. Heck, I'd pay just to have the orange and black leather jacket I wore. I was 6 years old in that pic.
