I do
know that midget racing cars were a big sport in America in the 1930's-50's.
Midget car races date back to the earliest days of automobile racing. Many of 
the pioneering racers and daredevils -- Barney Oldfield, Art Smith -- had 
smaller versions of their cars and participated in midget car races. For example, 
the midget car race at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, held in 
San Francisco in 1915. See also Dick Wallen, Distant Thunder: When Midgets Were 
Mighty, a review of Midget racing history from 1914-1950. Includes living 
history from many of the early midget stars. The book is 400 pages,  with1000 
photographs and eight original color paintings. It includes every AAA and URA 
race, date, winner, car owner, race track and car number from 1945 through 1950 
on the west coast. Also includes payoff's promoters, racetracks, etc.

William Price
