1929 Pontiac 6-29A Racer

A 1929 Pontiac 6-29A Racer is as far as any research will show is the only vehicle in the world bearing this marque denomination. Speed equipment was added.

Between 1915 and the early 1930s, American manufactured and British manufactured automobiles were modified for road racing, both for dirt and for hard pan surfaces, board track racing (motordromes) and for hill climbs (as well as for any other competitive endeavor that the participants would invent). Stock chassis and running gear were generally used and numerous coachbuilders designed and sold ra

cer and speedster bodies, crated and boxed the design, and shipped them to the competitors. Back yard builders were prevalent. Designs were modified. American automobiles ended up in England and English automobiles ended up in the Americas. With the onset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, coupled with a concurrent increase in speed (and small race tracks disappearing rapidly), automobiles of this construction and era were replaced with automobiles endowed with raw speed for the new steep banked tracks of ample width.

6-29A is from the Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors, then part of the Oakland Motor Car Company, and she is a split L-head straight in line 6 cylinder racer, engine number P 615369. She was the 7,212 manufactured Pontiac after August 1929 and has been assigned a deliver date for daily or competition use of September 2, 1929.

6-29A is a Pre War Vintage Racer

Racer is sitting at EastGate Motors in Red Hook, New York, waiting for better weather and maybe to surprise the racing community at Lime Rock. For sure, she will visit the summer shows in the Hudson Valley when the snow melts and the sun again begins to shine.

No more 'girly' applications are being accepted - 'Grid Kids' to replace 'Grid Girls' at F-1 races and for the Stauber Racing Team. Daniel (and I) will be designing a lottery/merit program for our starting grid kids. We look at it as giving future champions of our sport the opportunity to stand near or along side their heros. [See Daniel with Sterling Moss]

Palos Verdes Concourse on Sunday was fun. RACER was in an unjudged Class. The event was at the Torrance Airfield and the cars were shown near vintage airplanes. Ben (Kaplan), Dan and I (and RACER) made some new friends.
