Welcome
And
thank you for stopping by the #32 1933 'Watson & Watson'
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
http://www.teamwatsononline.com,
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. (I
have included screen shots of each below).

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 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!
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 in
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 (to our knowledge) has been on the show field at
the Antique Automobile Club of America's Fall
Meet in Hershey PA, (AACA),
the most consecutive years out of any other car in its history,
(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 sign up
for our Online Newsletter and to contact us if you feel
you have additional Historical information about this Sprint
Car.
Hope
you enjoy the web site.
