Pennsylvania Open Wheel Racing - 1949

What follows is an outstanding collection of fan photos taken by a young Dick Worley. More of Dick's early photography can be seen in "A Day at the Races". The majority of these 1949 photos in this selection are from Williams Grove, but it also contains a few rare photos from Mason-Dixon & Reading Speedways.

Bill Holland was awarded this Oldsmobile for winning the 1949 Indianapolis 500. It is seen here at the Reading Fairgrounds.
