Unknown car at the Vintage races

["James A. Ruffner" <erl@virginia.edu>]

I believe that the red car that you could not identify is a retired Indy
racer from the late 30's, to the late 40's.  I'll bet it is powered by
an Offenhauser (Offie) flathead four.  This was the standard design.
I'm far to young to know this in person, but I do remember seeing pics
of these cars in garages and auto shops.  The Offie flatheads dominated
these races for years.

Cheers
