This is a well thought-out production to watch in getting knowledge of the "classic old days of racing". So many notable names of motor car companies of the distant past are shown. Of those shown, few still exist in some way or the other. And, the cubic inch displacement of the motors! Huge, let alone heavy weight! Good show!
Much appreciated! There are ample reasons for motor car companies to fail, especially in the early days. Those were some very brave men back then. We still have them, but they get lost in the crowd. 900+ cubic inches in a 4-cylinder would only turn around 1400 rpm. Big torque and tall gears made them capable of over 100 mph.
I wish there had been a bit more about the financial troubles following WW1 It was a little bit unclear about the involvement if Harry in the company in the 1920's. No mention of the H.C.S. years? I just now became aware of YOUR presence on CZcams! I have met you many times at Irwindale and Perris, etc.
Thank you. This is simply my reading of a short story as written by Joe Scalzo, himself a fascinating character. The Cooper/Stutz relationship had many dimensions.
