Bob Bondurant

Interview with a Race Queen

April 11, 2022 By pete

The Editor and the photographer apologize for this photo, which was the result of the sun being at the wrong end of the lens. However, it is well balanced and says a lot. Read on.


Marilyn Fox Halder, as interviewed by Allen R. Kuhn
Photos by Allen R. Kuhn unless otherwise noted.

Marilyn Fox loved dancing growing up, and was very attractive. She would follow a career making commercials and become a professional dancer finding work at the Sahara in Las Vegas. This led her to appear at the Millionaire’s Club in Los Angeles, CA. While there, she was introduced to Peter and Harry Rothschild, who owned Powerine Oil Company. They wanted to get the contract to supply fuel for the race tracks in Southern California and asked Marilyn if she would be interested in becoming a promoter of their products at races and other activities. With her natural beauty and love of automobiles, she thought it might be a fun thing to do and get paid.

A vision of two warriors, each with his own method of preparation for battle.

Story and Photos by Allen R. Kuhn

Since I only covered the single race at Riverside in 1965, all references for the pictures will be for the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix on October 31, 1965, at Riverside.

Story and photos by Allen R. Kuhn

We continue with the photography of Allen R. Kuhn; he just keeps digging and coming up with more great images. But it is getting close to the end now, and we’ll present the last chapter in his journey next week. But we’ll also show more of his photography in our series on Formula III cars, so watch out for that.
Ed.

We are almost done with my saga, and I can see the end is in sight. What a wonderful and exciting adventure this has been. All the memories I have conjured up have brought an uplifting feeling for me. With all the sadness these last two years have brought, VeloceToday has helped immensely for me to find that long back-straight to keep me going. [Read more…] about Photo Gallery 4: Allen R.

The panel of the Meet the Legends presentation enjoys a story while I look at my shoes. From left to right: the author, Peter Brock, Bob Bondurant, Pat Bondurant, Steve Volk and Allen Grant. The image on the screen is Cobra Coupe CSX #2287, the first car completed. It was entirely built within the Shelby American shop. It is shown at the Bonneville Salt Flats where it set 23 world records, including 12 hours at over 150 mph. The car can be seen today at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia.

Story by Michael T. Lynch

The Art of the Car Concours celebrated its 10th Edition this year. Since the show’s inception, it has donated well over one million dollars to the Kansas City Art Institute Scholarship Fund. At a time when student debt has surpassed consumer debt, the event is to be complimented for doing its part to ease the burden.

The weekend’s festivities began with Saturday morning’s traditional Entrants’ Breakfast at Tivol, Kansas City’s leading jeweler, located on the Country Club Plaza, which was the first auto-centric shopping area in the country. The Plaza was built in 1927 and takes its architectural theme from Seville, Spain. The block was closed and many entrants brought their show cars, allowing the public to get a free preview of the leading Concours between the two coasts. [Read more…] about MIchael T.
