Re: 60 Year Old Flathead Hot Rodding Letter
Excellent letter and reflection of Hartop racing in America. I raced at Motor City Speedway in Detroit in 1953, good times! (I was 17)
As for the $300.00 I'll try to put that in perspective, the starting pay for a factory worker was $1.65 an hour, some people were raising family's on that. $1.65 X 40 hours=$66.00 a week! Mark
