A "Drake" is essentially a Harley powered midget - it was a popular engine choice among many, particularly in the pre-offy days - The Offy essentially rendered other engines obsolete and hence some clubs like the URA had an Offy and non-Offy circuit (Red and Blue) and some clubs banned the Offy altogether- Rex Mays showed once up at Winchester with his Offy prompting a threat of a boycott

Now that you're into midgets, anyone remember, besides me, the 2 that Justin King, Columbus Taxi cab Co owner campaigned? Man, Justin was a perfectionist, those cars were never seen dirty, he hauled them on an open, double deck trailer, and man were they the dream of a young kid, full of &*%% and vinegar, when I worked after school, at the Ford Garage, when it was down town, musta been about 1953ish. V860's, and nothing spared, he'd always push them off, before they loaded them, and that really got me nailed. Bob

This car looks almost exactly like the one my grandpa had. We have a pic of him at Monticello ( don't know year ) with Gerald Brand. The car was grey and maroon and was number 30. The tail tank and everything looks the same. I will try to get a pic posted to see if anyone recognizes the car.

Well now there were plenty Drakes out west, In fact I found one last year waiting to be installed in a new Kurtis frame,I wonder if it ever happened?

Here are Billy and his Brother Eli going at it in a couple of Drakes.

Duke,

According to the website, the Vukovich Drake is for sale, is it Bill that is selling it or has he already sold it?

later,
