Vintage Racing?

Kin, I am only somewhat familiar with the cards you posted. I know that 12 of the images from the 1960 Hawes Wax Indy cards were produced on six oversized cards. Here is a Beckett link that references the Canadian game that included the six cards, but I can't be much more helpful beyond that:

There isn't much additional information to be found online. A couple of Worthpoint completed auctions make passing reference to the game, but shed no details on a name or anything like that.

Like a lot of other people, I lost my scans when Photobucket went to a pay format. I finally broke down and rescanned some of the collection into an imageevent gallery. I put together a gallery of my graded 1972 STP cards and wrote a description of each card/the set as a whole.

I am not a huge PSA registry guy. My complete set does not grade as high as fellow net54 member "Justus." But as rare as some of the cards are, I am glad to have an example of every card.

Thanks for sharing, Eddie! I’d love to have a copy of the Allison STP (will never happen). You mention it being the second most valuable racing card, what’s your estimate of going rate, should one surface?

I believe I’ve mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I am jealous that you have that Foyt Marhoefer. That’s one that someday I plan to have. I think Lloyd Ruby also has a Marhoefer card. Someday I hope to come into one.

Kin, I sent you a PM.

Are you making any more progress on your T36 set? Do you already have a Barney Oldfield T36 card? I have been looking for an Oldfield T36 for a couple years now, and he never seems to show up on eBay. Edit: I just looked at your gallery. You are looking for an Oldfield also. LOL

I actually decided to create a gallery for my STP cards because I was talking about the set on a message board with other racing fans, and a couple posters were intrigued by the cards because they were stick and ball card collectors, but were not familiar with the STP racing set.

I believe earlier in the thread we mentioned the 1960 Parkhurst Indianapolis Speedway Winners/Hawes Wax Indy set. I saw this blog post a few days ago with scanned images of the June 20, 1960 copy of "The Card Collector." It mentions, very briefly, the Parkhurst set. There's nothing much to take away from it that we didn't know, other than learning that the set was released in the earlier part of the year, and in the months leading up to the race.

Eddie,

You already saw, but Oldfield is one of the three left that I need. Truth be told, when it comes available, we should talk. No need getting into a needless bidding war. I know it’ll be awhile, but another will eventually come available!

Oh, I won't get into a bidding war over it. I know you are working on the set. I kinda wish I would have went harder at the T36 set that sold at Huggins and Scott earlier this year., but there are a bunch of things on my want list.

Racing lost one of the best dirt-track drivers in the country Saturday night when Sprint Car driver Jason Johnson was killed in a horrific crash at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

Johnson, 41, was a five-time American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) 360 champion. He also won 12 career World of Outlaws features including two this season. But Johnson is most known for his thrilling win in the 2016 Knoxville (Iowa) Nationals. The Knoxville Nationals pays $150,000 to win, and there is no bigger dirt track race anywhere than the Knoxville Nationals.

Reactions from around the racing world:

Johnson was just the second World of Outlaws driver killed in the past 20 years. This is almost too hard to believe (and just absolutely awful), but Johnson's wife, Bobbi, was the fiancee of racer Kevin Gobrecht when Gobrecht was killed in a World of Outlaws race at Greenwood (Neb.) in 1999.

Here is a very sad, hard to read, article that talks about Johnson's widow dealing with the death of Gobrecht back in 1999. The couple has planned to marry in November of that year, but Gobrecht was killed on September 24.

Everyone who has grown up around racing knows that racing people are the best, The official GoFundMe page that the World of Outlaws set up for Johnson's wife and five-year-old son has received over $37,000 in donations in just 24 hours.

Here it is: This is the biggest win of Jason Johnson's career -- the 2016 Knoxville Nationals. Even if you have never seen a Sprint Car race, check out the five-minute highlight video of the race. The closing laps featured Johnson and 10-time Knoxville Nationals winner Donny Schatz exchanging slide jobs while trading the lead back and forth. This video is definitely worth watching, one of the best dirt-track races a fan could ever see:
