Four Thought

Unfortunately, there is only one picture of a Pop Evans turbulence A-head. Pop Evans was an early day race driver, and became quite well known in California as the maintenance man who prepared all the tracks. He would run his old Model A race car around the tracks, stopping now and then to patch the track. Then, he'd run a few more laps. The first time I saw him he appeared to be an old man, and he didn't look any different 20 or 30 years later. The guys in the early days of racing would talk about going to Flagstaff to race. Pop had an early version of a house trailer, which was unknown then, and would tow it to Flagstaff with his race car. He was quite a character with his big handlebar mustache--a very friendly man.
