Sprint cars were larger than midget race cars, but smaller than the automobiles driven in races
like the Indy 500. Sprint cars were characterized by a highly efficient power-to-weight ratio
and a lightweight, minimalist body and frame large enough to house the driver, engine and fuel tank.
This 1930s sprint car was owned by Doc Bowles and built by Floyd "Pop" Dreyer. The #22 raced
extensively throughout the Midwest from the 1930s through the 1950s. While the racer was
re-configured throughout its racing years, it has been restored back to its 1930s configuration,
which includes the original body and rear racing tires.
