An unidentified big car prepares for the start of a race on the Kansas State Fairgrounds racetrack at Hutchinson, Kansas c1939.  That same car can be seen in the photo below where the cars are pitted along the inside of the front straight-away of that same racetrack – Marjorie Meyer collection

This photo was taken at about the same time the photo above it was taken.  Note that the #3 car is in the same position in both photos.  The #9 car in the foreground is the Joe Coniff Special McDowell Ford that was driven by Al Rogers.  The #82 next to it was a Hal car owned and driven by Tige Beal – Swart family collection
