A Friend Needs Our Help

A buddy of mine in Australia just purchased a George Shilala car - The Demmitt Shilala Chevy # 89 (black) and would appreciate any information anyone can share with him.  He bought the car just as it was found after being stored in a hangar at the Whiteman Airfield for a very long time.  He believes the original owner Floyd Demmit ran the car in CRA and that it was driven by his friend Roy Prosser & maybe his midget shoe Jim Devitt.  He would greatly appreciate any photos and/or information anyone can share with him!  All submissions can, for now, be sent to my email address - primogiusti@hotmail.com and I will forward all submissions to him.  I sincerely appreciate any and all help you can offer for my friend and thank you all in advance!!

Okay, this is too cool!  Once again, the Meyers family has come through - below is a business card found recently in the Meyers archives for my father's repair shop in Stockton on what is now Filbert Street.  I was floored that not only did it survive since the late 1950s, but in pretty good condition at that.  Click the card to see a larger image (in a new window)... and note the telephone number :>)


Giusti's Automotive business card

I began this auto racing history site in 1996 as a tribute to my father, Joe Giusti, and auto racing nostalgia in general.  From 1930 to 1980 auto racing enjoyed an unsurpassed following.  Before the big wings, expensive right rear (RR) tires and $35,000 engines, all that were required to race was a little know-how, a garage and commitment to race at the local bull ring.   Those are the racing times and people depicted within Turn 4.

Enjoy the racing stories in Liar's Corner, antiquated newspaper articles and albums in 50's News, Souvenir Programs, Photo Galleries and now Video from old 8mm reels.  You will find my
e-mail address
on
many pages within Turn 4 to which you can send me your old newspaper articles, stories or anecdotes and vintage photos from auto racings past.

Things are moving quickly these days with several additions and more promised for the near future.  Keep checking back frequently. All comments; critique and, especially praise, are welcome .
