Here are a series of photos from the Lee Dalton collection. Lee was only 5 years old when his Father, Elmer (Tex) Dalton was racing at Colorados Englewood, Lakeside and Pueblos Beacon Hill Speedways.
The first photo shows Lees Dad Tex, (the car that is facing you) tangled up with the #11 modified at Ewood. Jerry Lee, and any of the rest of you Ewood experts, Please help in identifying Elmers car number and when he raced at Ewood or Lakeside Speedways, if you can. Any other pictures would be a great help for Lee. This is the only picture that he has of his Fathers modified and he cannot even see the number. His Mother thinks it was #29.
In the next photos, these were all cars belonging to and driven by Walt McLin. These were some great looking cars and according to Lees Mom, were as fast as they were good looking. The 62 car was sponsored by Samsonite Luggage Co., and the picture of the two cars parked in front of the building was taken at the Samsonite headquarters. Elmer (Tex) Dalton is sitting on the tire of the #62 car. Walt stands to the right of him. Lee is not sure who the other car belonged to, but probably was a team car. The Toro sponsored #00 was also Walts car and was a beauty as well.
Again, any help in identifying or adding pictures to this thread would be a great help to Lee. The years to look for this information would be 1954-1959. Some of these photos were stamped with the Ted Ostrander Photographer stamp.
