I received this email and who knows who might have the info he is looking for???
Hello.
I'm in the process of building a period correct 1920s dirt track
racer and have been taking cues from the early Rajo Jack chassis
pictured in Don Radburch's "Dirt Track Auto Racing", pages 11 & 12.
If you are familiar with this book, you'll know that there is only so
much that can be gleamed from those two photos found there of the
early 1920s Rajo Jack car.
So, I am searching for the owner of the two photos that were
published in that book in hopes to be able to secure a much clearer,
more detailed copy of those two photos. The photos are attributed
to, "Herman Giles" of California. However, the only Herman Giles
I've found, does not answer the phone and I've left several messages
on their answering machine, with no response or luck at all. I know
that in the book it is noted a Thank You to both Herman Giles and
Warren Jones of California for their help with the brief history of
Rajo Jack. Both names have turned up nothing for me, and with the
recent passing of Mr. Don Radbruch, it seems that my quest for the
needed info is starting to seem pretty bleak!
I have wanted to contact Mrs. Radbruch or any other family member
that might have access to Don's notes to see if he had kept any
record (phone number, etc.) of Herman or Warren by chance? However,
no phone number is listed anywhere that I can find.
Seeing as your website is dedicated to the racing history of
yesteryear i thought to take a chance and see if, with the many
persons you've come across and may know if you might be of any
assistance with this? I thank you for your time and look forward to
hearing from you soon.
Take care.
