Condizione: Very Good. Archive of over 50 snapshot photographs of racecars and drivers, featuring Frankie Dickerson, a prominent midget car racer, and Harold Leep, Hall of Fame sprint car racer. Both notorious Hall of Fame regulars throughout Kansas. Very Good Plus overall. Full collation upon request.An arresting capsule, not unlike the subject it captures, of roughly 50 years of racing in Kansas, hometown vernacular that puts the viewer on the track, in the dirt, in midwest America, where small car racing saw an upswing in popularity after WWII.

Leep may have been an avid fan of Dickerson, and the collection was assembled (presumed) by Leep or a relative of his. Dickerson died in 1995, and Leep in 2014. Photos range from 2.75 x 2.75 inches to 8 x 10 inches, most being smaller, many Dickerson photos with white borders, Leep photos glossy. Tape corners, corner creases, glue ghosts on some versos. Notations on versos in holograph ink or pencil, many dated (printed in borders on rectos), a few are enlarged reprints. Some are rubber-stamped by Ward, a rep at National Speed Sport News agency, and Schuelke, including images of other racers, like Ralph Foster, Woodie Spencer, Tex West. A handful of scrapbook-style newspaper clippings highlighting his career complement the photos.…
