Charlie Beck at Rosamond Dry Lake on July 19, 1942. The car is the former Bob Rufi ride that Charlie, his brother George, and some friends rebuilt after Bob flipped it in ’40. Running as number 91 and a member of the Centuries, Charlie drove it 131.96 mph with a Cook headed Ford four-banger to take first in the Streamliner Class. This was the last S.C.T.A. event before racing was shut down. Charlie then traded this seat for a P-40 Warhawk in the South Pacific and became an Ace.
