Description |
English: Ray Ritters of los angeles poses in his cycle car, #2, a velie, at the tacoma speedway. The velie autos and trucks were manufactured by velie motors corp. of moline, ill., from 1902-1928. In september of 1914, the small race cars and their junior drivers took tacoma by storm. Each day the newspapers were filled with stories about the boys who, for the most part, designed and built, as well as raced, their own cars. The cars were usually powered by motorcycle engines and could travel at 35-50 mph. Ritters had raced many times in The south, but had never finished in the money. He arrived early in tacoma and rebuilt his car here, making many changes, including mounting the engine on the side. He never got to show off his improved vehicle in tacoma, both the labor day race and the rescheduled race were called due to rain. (T. Tribune 9/13/1914, pg. 2B, plus preceding dates in sept. 1914) |
