1960 USAC MIDGET REVIEW: NO MAYBES FOR DAVIES, HE’S THE CHAMP

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

In one of the closest contests in history, Jimmy Davies, a veteran driver from Gardena, Calif., made history in 1960 by becoming the first ever USAC National Midget driver/entrant champion.* Pressed all season, Davies ultimately eked out a 9.75 point victory over Bob Wente of St. Louis, Mo. after Wente's tremendous stretch drive in the indoor races fell short.

Davies elected to pass up the indoor events because of the great distance to travel during the holidays from his home in California and because he believed his 58 point lead was a comfortable enough margin.* His decision almost backfired as Wente came within a whisker of catching him.

The 1960 battle for the title was reminiscent of the 1958 struggle when Shorty Templeman edged Rex Easton for the title by just 8.25 points.* There was another similarity as Wente was the leader in points for races held in the Midwest even though Davies won the national crown.* In 1958, Easton was the Midwest champion and Templeman the national leader.

Davies, who began his racing career in 1945, turned in an impressive performance during the season as he finished in the top-six in 34 of the 55 races he started.* He really won the championship with his remarkable qualifying record.* He was the fastest qualifier in 19 races, or over one-third of the total events, and won nine features, was second four times, had five thirds, five fourths, six fifths and five sixths.

Wente nearly matched this record with seven wins, nine seconds, nine thirds, two fourths, six fifths and six sixths.* Wente was also the fastest qualifier on eight occasions.

Among Davies’ other racing accomplishments are three AAA National Championship victories, at Springfield in 1954 and at Phoenix and Del Mar in 1950.* In 1951, he led the Indianapolis 500 for a short time.* He finished a career-best third in his fifth and final “500” appearance in 1955.

Wente proved himself as one of the most promising drivers on the circuit.* He had been racing only six years but had already developed into a fierce competitor in that time.

Gene Hartley of Roanoke, Ind., the defending series champion, finished a solid third in both the National and Midwest standings.* Other familiar names in the top-ten included Leroy Warriner, Shorty Templeman, Len Sutton and A.J. Foyt.

First-time top-ten finishers in USAC’s National Midget standings were Bob Tattersall, Tommy Copp and Parnelli Jones, all of whom eventually became National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame inductees.

Tragedy marred the October event at the Fairfield (Ill.) Fairgrounds.* Jim Packard, 28, of Indianapolis, Ind. was killed in a crash on the second lap of his qualification run when his steering broke, sending his car over the fence and into a tree.* Packard had won his first career USAC Sprint Car race just one week prior at the Allentown (Pa.) Fairgrounds, and his first USAC National Championship race a mere two-and-a-half months earlier at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

Bob Stroud of Indianapolis, Ind., who had served from 1956-59 as the Midwest Midget representative for USAC, was appointed as USAC’s National Midget supervisor in 1960.* Operating from USAC National Headquarters in Speedway, Ind., Stroud’s duties included the coordination and scheduling of midget events as well as the registration of cars and drivers.

In December, USAC headquarters were relocated from Speedway to midtown Indianapolis at 1927 North Meridian Street.

During the month of April, the name of the series was changed to supposedly give the public a better understanding of what type of race they can expect when they see it advertised.* Effective immediately, as of April 28, 1960, the official title for the series became the 110 Offenhauser Division of the United States Auto Club.

To rectify the confusion, the release at the time stated, “since more than 95% of the midgets registered with USAC are powered by 110 cubic-inch Offenhauser engines. (The exact limit is 109.999).* This does not mean that other engines are not welcome.* The contrary is true.”* Are we clear?

Lucky me, in 53 I was working at a Ford dealership across from Justin Kings taxi, and he always pushed off his 2 midgets before leaving for a race, I was already hooked but he really sank it in, Salem was a short trip, and I was there a lot, Dave Norris was just across town, Columbus was full of cars and builders in those days, great time to be holding a job and a drivers license
