Notes: This "rail job" had reportedly been built in just six hours. On Aug. 24, he set a new track record for cars at Tidelands Circuit drag strip of 104.65 mph. The Tidelands Circuit was a road course but began running drag races on the straightway in mid-August. On Aug. 31 at Tidelands, Tony Renna of Huntington Park tied Hardcastle's track record of 104.65 mph in his '32 Ford. On Sep. 7 at Tidelands, Hardcastle had the meet's top speed of 100 mph but was slowed by a headwind. Photo: Redwood City Tribune, Aug. 29, 1952 - MB |
