I've recently connected with Dan Morehouse. He and I are going to get together and post some pictures that his has...Here are two that he e-mailed me...
Well, I thought I could post the pictures....later.
Top two pictures are the Blythe Marathon and I wasn't running A-319-C, Jack Woodruff was supposed to, but it was 125 in the shade and there was not shade, and he got sick for the heat. I ran the white Morehouse, pictures in the third picture...That was Danny Morehouse's D Boat but he let me run it in Cu has he was running the new Morehouse FORESTALL, which he blew over when a whirlwind caught him. I was just old enough to run CU...So, I must have be 15, so this was Spring,1959.
350-C was Tito Smith's dad. He ran 36 for many years. Horse Chambers finished third, and my OLD MAN was inspecting and he told Horse to pull his head for inspection...Horse said for $25 prize money, he wasn't going to pull no HEAD!!!!! Especially, in 120 degree heat...My dad agreed and let him go!!!
4th picture is Everett Baggs, in a the Second Warren Little DU. Both Litten DU's were built by the school teacher from garden Grove...Kenny Wade... Chek them rope starter DU's...The rope start DU was the "BERRIES" until Mercury made the 55-H kit...The kit included Tiltson Carbs, flat top pistons....and solid rods. Thw carbs floats would hold gas, the flat tops were a little more compression, and the solid rods let you bump the timing...The KG-9 became HISTORY by the fall of 1959...
ADD: 574-C was Chuck Stanford...We always liked Chuck..He was in the black top business. He once repossed a driveway....he was famous when calling to say, when you picked up, "Who's this?" You'd Ron Hill...He'd say, "No, THIS is Chuck Stanford." He's the one that taught me that is wasn't work I wanted...It was the MONEY!!!!
Last two: 350-C is Tito's dad... and 112-C is Danny Schwarzenbach...I didn't realize he was also running DU here...Usually, he ran 36...
