[Otto Puzzell]

Yes

There were a lot of midget racers. Hmm. We'll need a clue here. Was the guy/shop who built it famous for something?

[Otto Puzzell]

No more so than the thousands of other midget racer builders or drivers.

This one doesn't have a Ford or Offy engine.

Can't be the one with the Lea-Francis engine as the exhaust's the wrong side.
Photo could be reversed, I thought, but there's a clear no. 53 in the background. . .

Not a Lea-Francis engine

[Allemano]

It's a Nehl Brothers Wayne-GMC

[Otto Puzzell]

Probably!

Locked for you until I'm back home.
