1954
Recently, I came across these photos in the YCRC archives. I would dearly love to tell you who it was that not only took these pictures, but also took the time to carefully document each and every one of them. It appears that whoever this fan was, he somehow knew the importance of keeping records of these golden days of motor racing. Thank goodness for people like him that had the foresight to do this. This collection of photos was donated to YCRC, however, it is not known by whom. On the back of each photo many details are listed, such as the date and location, name of the car, the car owner, driver, engine, colors of the car, date, racing association and how they fared during the event. All, except two, are from the 1954 season at Williams Grove and Reading Fairgrounds. There were a few occasions where it was difficult to read the handwriting, so please let me know if you catch any names that are misspelled. As far as I know, none of these pictures (except for a few that appear to have been purchased from professional photographers) have ever before been published anywhere. If anyone can identify who shot and documented these photos, please let us know. Each series of
photos is grouped below by date. EDITORS NOTE (5/1/03): TVR is happy to announce that the photographer who took these photos has been identified! Dick Worley's daughter proudly informed us that these photos were taken by her father. Dick was a huge race fan and you will find much of his collection throughout the pages of TVR. |
