Hot Rods and Racing Cars #39

1959-03-01 · 35 pages

The issue contains two main stories. "Texas Style Drag Strip" describes the freeway drag strip midway between Houston and Galveston, featuring 4,000 feet of straightaway asphalt and facilities including a Chronomer electronic timing system comparable to a Texas Longhorn's yawn. "Like Father Like Son" follows a father and son racing together in tiny QMs at the quarter-mile oval, where the father, a former big racer named Jim Lane, takes his son Jim to compete, though Jim Hawkins was the best driver the father ever worked with in the pit; the story progresses through multiple laps as the early leaders falter and the cars battle toward the finish, ultimately resulting in a crash at a blind turn near the factory.
