1959 - Advertisement for the Drag Races at Amelia Earhart Field

Miami, FL


According to Dick Besola, who is older than me and who knew just about everyone in town, these drag races at Amelia Earhart were run by three gents: Ernie Schorb, Harry Steele and another gent whose name he can't remember right now. Harry Steele invented the Xmas tree light device that changed colors downwards until it was the start of the drag race. They all belonged to a car club called The Cabriolets that met just a few doors in from the 103rd Street overpass on East 10th Court in Hialeah.
