the seven be for the racing footage while i would have to give the film a a whole something low while this look like a standard programmer from the period . i have see tcr several time and and this time decide to watch it to try to determine where the racing footage be shoot and what kind of car these be . i have to ( somewhat educatedly ) guess that be look at the old jeffrey ranch speedway in burbank in the first racing sequence . it be pretty close to the warner back lot and and ( accord to race historian harold osmer ) in operation from 31 to 35. the stand be cover and and there be a lot of large tree close by and as well a equestrian facility and all three item definitely not the case at legion ascot or huntington beach . i have be tell that culver city half mile of that period do not have any equestrian facility and either and which deal with all the track in the region in 31 and 32. the car in these shot be largely ford model a block or any odd freer breathe head and rear drive and backyard or fill station bomb on ford rail rather than anything from harry miller shop in nearby vernon and though there might be an early miller 200 and 220 or 255 ( the basis of the famed leo goosen design and offy 255/270 build by offenhauser and brisko and and later and meyer and drake ) . this be doubtful and however and a those engine and complete ( usually two or three year old ) miller chassis rarely run anywhere but legion ascot in the la area at that time . the second ( nighttime ) sequence be at legion ascot and and it 20 and 000 seat look to be pretty full and which and even when they weren not shoot a feature film and be pretty full even in the nadir of the great depression . veteran dirt track fan will note that ascot oil surface run pretty much dust free compare to the old horse track in burbank . the third group of action sequence shot at the brickyard feature top of the line miller and deusey rail and as well a several of the very best driver of the period include fred frame and billy arnold and both indy winner ( 1930 and 1932 and respectively while lou schneider win the 31 race in the bowes seal fast special see momentarily here ) . careful listener will hear the unmistakable snarl of the early offy four in the background . sadly and the sound era be just get underway a the legendary miller 91s and the incredible board track they run on be phase out in 29. open wheel race in the 30 be good and but ow racing in the previous decade ( at track like beverly hill and culver city ) be a big and spectacular and and fast then a nascar be now on mile oval . the indy scene feature the ( more nearly stock car ) two seaters and poor man engine that be mandate at the time to reduce cost and break the high tech or high buck and miller stranglehold of the late 20 . there be deusies and ford and even studebakers run the big track in those day and but harry miller car and engine continue to dominate .
