What automotive, motorsports or collector car activities would you like to do in the future?
1951 Ford Convertible, this stock car allegedly began its’ racing career in the then popular NASCAR Convertible Division, which raced between 1951 and 1958 on the old Beach Course at Daytona Beach, Florida. A “Sun liner” hardtop was added to promote the forthcoming “hardtop” and this car participated in exhibition races at county fairs and Joey Chitwood-type Thrill Shows. After competing nationally, old 21 was racing the short tracks throughout the Southeastern United States. The original engine was a 312 cubic inch Ford Flathead V8. Some songs of the day called this engine a “hot rod Lincoln.” During the short track days, a 300 cubic inch Ford Truck Engine, also called a “straight six”, replaced the Flathead V8. This car won the 2007 Daytona Antique Automobile Racing Southern Vintage Series, with a V8 Ford replacing the old straight 6 engine. Today, after 57 years of racing, old 21 continues to race throughout the state of Florida!
What Car Clubs, Racetracks or Motorsport Sanctioning Bodies, (e.g. F1, NASCAR, Indycar, IMSA, WRC) interest you?
I enjoy racing with the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association and race at Zephyrhills twice per year and the Southern Vintage Racing Points Championships with DAARA
