Welcome
And
thank you for stopping by the1933 Crack'n Riley Special Sprint
Car Web Site. This web site is one of 4 sites which
together form "Team Watson Online". Our other 3
sites include:
If you arrived at this web site from a web site other than
our main portal, I invite you to stop by our main portal
to learn more about the web sites mentioned above. I am
sure you will find every one of them both interesting as
well as entertaining.

Introduction
Hi.
My name is Brian Watson, son of Bill Watson, restorer of the
featured race car. The idea for a web site about our sprint
car came about in 1999 after being approached at car shows
and on-track events by numerous people for additional photos
and information about the car. Besides being bulky, our archive
is extremely important to us so it is normally kept in a firebox
instead of out on the road with the car. We decided that the
next best thing would be for us to design a web site showcasing
what we feel is one of the largest collections of historical
information about a 1930s sprint car in the Northeast US.
We
took a simple and clean approach when designing this web
site and feel confident that the casual web surfer all the
way up to the Vintage Auto Racing Historian will find this
site both entertaining as well as educational.
If
you have been on this site long enough to be reading this,
then we have either peaked your interest in Antique &
Vintage Racing Cars or perhaps you are just curious as to
what the heck is this thing called a "Sprint Car".
Hopefully, after you are done visiting with us you will
have a good idea what a Sprint Car is, along with the burning
desire to see one of these beautifully crafted engineering
marvels up close and running at your local track, especially
on Dirt and definitely at Speed.
And
for those of you who have never been to your local
dirt race track on a Friday or Saturday night to
see local home town racing at its finest, we STRONGLY recommend
that you do so immediately!
One
last item that I feel deserves mentioning before we drop
the green and let you loose to check out the site. This
sprint car was raced from 1933 to 1963. Was restored from
1971 to 1973 and has been actively shown and driven since
1973. That leaves only a 10 year window that the car has
sat in its lifetime, 10 years since 1933. Also noteworthy
is that this car has been on the show field at the Antique
Automobile Club of America's Fall
Meet in Hershey PA, (AACA),
every year since 1973.
We
would love to hear from you so to please do not hesitate
to write and tell us about your current or future project
or to ask a question. We also ask you to please CONTACT
US if you feel you have additional Historical
Information & PHOTOS about this Sprint Car.
Enjoy.
