Default Re: Model T Racing Thread

The first photograph was taken at the Michigan State Fair Grounds prior to the 1911 Algonquin Hill Climb meet 8 June 1911 and used to promote the races at Hawthorne Track in Chicago on June 10 and 11, 1911. It is a 389.9 cubic inch Ford Special racer that Frank Kulick raced at Algonquin June 8, 1911, numbered as the 42 car. Note the set back 4-cylinder Ford Special engine through the dash.

It is only 3-1/2 miles from the Ford Motor Company plant on Woodward, Detroit. Kulick apparently had rather free access to this track in Detroit.

Frank Kulick drove another one of these 389.9 cubic inch Ford Special racers at the same Algonquin Hill Climb as the 64 car.

Third photograph is from a newspaper of Frank Kulick driving the 64 car, the other 389.9 cubic inch Ford Special racer at Algonquin June 8, 1911. The set back engine not apparent in this photo.
