Altoona Mid-Race

Here's another image from the Paul Sheedy collection. What you see here is the Altoona, PA board track speedway mid-race June 12, 1926. The winner of that race was Dave Lewis.
 
Just look at the amazing names painted on their pit stalls. Peter DePaoloBennett Hill, Lewis, Frank Elliott and Harry Hartz, who you can see in the pits in car #3. Be sure to click on the attachment link below. This is one of those images that has far greater impact when you see it full size.
