Great original press / publicity photo

Amazing early photograph acquired as-is - believed to show Ralph De Palma, Eddie Pullen and Roscoe Sarle. An amazing user on Reddit identified the likely year and history below:

Based on the clues in the notation and in the photo itself, this appears to be from Heat Race 1 of the April 10, 1921 races at the Los Angeles Motor Speedway, also referred to as the Beverly Hills Speedway or the Beverly Hills Board Track, an ambitious but short-lived (1920-1924) high-banked 1.25 mile wooden oval track in Beverly Hills, California.

DePalma (in the white #4 Ballot) won that 20 lap/25 mile heat over Roscoe Sarles by a reported 0.02 seconds at a 106.3 MPH average (if ChampCarStats is to be believed), an amazingly close finish. Pullen would finish 5th of the 8 cars in the heat, which also featured Joe Thomas, Tommy Milton, Eddie Hearne, Alton Soules, and Jimmy Murphy. There were 3 more 20 lap heat races and then a 40 lap main event on April 10, 1921, with Murphy taking the main event.

Very interesting images captioned as showing power plant equipment in Dayton Ohio in 1938. Acquired as-is with out history.

Amazing piece of automobilia! This is an original Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Convertible factory press photograph which has been hand painted over to highlight the car for press use. Stamp on the back suggests this may have been used in Autocar magazine in 1959 (acquired as-is so history unknown)
