Prowlers Car Club

Performance / Racing

This desire to build cars and help each other with their project cars, was the reason that the Prowlers formed as a club. In those days the only organization for this kind of speed running was the Southern California Timing Association. This was the start of hot rodding. Later toward the ’50s, the Prowlers would join with others and form the Russetta Timing Association so they could run coupes and sedans in the speed trials. This is an original program from 1948 for the El Mirage races. This has been kept it excellent condition by our club historian Andy Bekech. This program looks like it was bought yesterday. There are 3 of the Charter Member Prowlers listed in this program. Bill Carpenter, Rich Sawyer #2 and the late Frank Wilkinson #7. Where would you get a program like this today for 25 cents? Below will be the pages in this program.
