Jim Khougaz campaigned his '32 roadster successfully at El Mirage from 1946-1950. At first, it was a dual-purpose street and lakes car, but by 1949, with a tank full of methanol and a full bellypan, it could top 140 mph. Here, Khougaz streaks across the lakebed at El Mirage in a period photo that captures the excitement of lakes racing and preserves it for all time.
