Looking for information and/or pictures of "Shorty" Herman/Hermann. He owned race cars in the Streator area, possibly in the 1950s. Believed he died young..1960s?
Apparently somone purchased one of his cars and wants to restore it.
Thanks, Joanie

Are you asking about Richard Herman and his midget racer?

Yes, I think that is him....believe he died in 1961.
Heard last night ....they think they found the photo/information.
I think Lithgo was one of his drivers.
Did you ever see pictures of those cars....no roll bars...Yipes!

Yes, that is all correct. I haven't seen nor have any of the photos, but I know someone that may.

I was a neighborhood kid who used to watch Richard and others work on midget racers. I remember #3, a white Offenhauser Midget with plenty of chrome, roll bar included. It was a push start set up they would run out in the drive way to start. His shop was really well equipped with many black & white glossies of race events covering the walls. The Hermans were great people and always kind to us kids.
