My father, Raymond "Red" Boscher, Jr., raced midgets in the late 40s, early 50s in the Chicago-based United Auto Racing Association (UARA). I'm searching for the whereabouts of the following cars: #55 yellow/blue midget owend by Charlie Lippencott (former AA pilot); #5 black/red/white midget owned by Ulrich Brothers and #24 blue/white midget owned by Bender Brothers and sponsored by Collignon Nash, Des Plaines, IL. All were Ford V8-60 powered. Cars were raced at the following tracks - Soldier Field, Chicago; Peotone, IL, Farigrounds; Kankakee, IL, Fairgrounds; Gill Stadium, Chicago: Hanson Park, Chicago; Streator, IL; DePere, WI
Hi Tom,
Towe Auto MuseumIt doesn't appear that we have the cars you are looking for here at the Museum, but we do have an exhibit right now that will run through June 27, 2008 celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the first-ever pro midget races here in Sacramento, CA. Visit www.toweautomuseum.org for more information. Good luck on locating these racers!
