Part Two
Due to the size of this
article, I’ve had to break it down into five parts.
Some of the 1940’s and his
Outboards.
Photo from 1946 taken at Hinchliffe Stadium – notice the number all wrinkles. I seem to remember it as a paper grocery bag, taped to the tail.

Outboard
Johnny with some close friends. He’s right behind the number – the short one. His shirt was yellow & blue.

Same car as the # 163? I’m not sure! Front bumper looks the same. Stands are full, though, at Hinchliffe! RF looks bigger than RR, doesn’t it?
Johnny drove other Outboard powered midgets in the mid to late 40’s, one of which is this # 2, below, with Charlie Miller in the seat.
On occasion, Johnny would
also get in the Eddie Allen # 18 Outboard, pictured here with Charlie Breslin
in the seat.
