Sparks - Thorne

This is David Story's third rendering of the Art Sparks-designed supercharged Joel Thorne owned racer. Driver Jimmy Snyder, known as, "The Milkman," because he had driven a mild truck in Chicago. The car caught everyone's attention as blazing fast when it arrived at the Brickyard in 1938, but mechanical ills cast it to the sidelines. The following year the team returned and Snyder put the machine on the pole and came home runner-up.
