Nice pics, I never thought about building up an old racer.

All I need is some land, a circle or oval track and some "projects" and maybe a helmet or two

OK, those were some of my favorite European racers.
Now let's try out some American made racers.

Great stuff Moronthethrottle. Here's on of my favorites. Note wood chassis

I've thought about wood frame rails using lam-beams. Any opinions from the wood butchers out there?
BTW the cars pictured are wonderful to look at.

Those were amazing! Thanks for posting those. Some of those cars remind me of some at the Lane Motor Museum here in Nashville. One of the only European automobile museums in the country.

Hey brother, that looks like a fun project. Gather up some more pieces and start it up in the build thread.

I was hoping someone would have more pics to add-with Gastrick on board there's never much cause to worry.

I found the sites when I was searching for a 1900 Napier. Mrs. moron had a little ceramic model of one made in 1941 as a planter type thingy. I wanted to see an actual picture of one and that's how I found all these cool racers. I wanted to share the motor pics in the engine thread, the suspension shots in the frames/suspensions and the cars in the kool cars, but it seemed a shame to split them up so I started this thread.

More to come...
