These Are A Few Of The Cars My Dad Built Back In The Day
Pete Frazier Was A Good Friend Of My Dad's And Drove The Doemelt House Car Before Pete Started Factor One Racing. All Of The First Factor One Micros Used Doemelt Components. Pictured Are Pete, My Dad's Life Long Friend Jim Jenkins, His Former Welder John Godfrey And G.L. Doemelt.
This Was The First Doemelt 1100 Mini Sprint
Built For Howard Schrock
I Believe This Was The First Factor One
Pete Was The Greatest Micro Racer I Have Ever Seen. Period.
If You Were Racing A.M.S.A In The Early 90's You Had To Beat
Larry "Buckwheat" Gates
From Evansville Indiana.
Larry Was The Best Mini Sprint Racer I Ever Saw
He Could Kick Your Ass On The Track Or In The Pits.
This Car Was Built For Chris England In The Early 90's.
His Nephew Tim Is Now Racing A Runaway 20 Years Later.
Tim's Dad Rick England Is An Exellent Mechinac And Metal Worker And Is Currently Working For Loyet Motorsports Working On The U.S.C.S Sprint Cars And Their Huge Midget Racing Program
This Was Real Racing
You Built Your Own Car, Trailer, And Used Your Work Van To Get It There. Not Something You See Much Of Anymore.
Doug Thompson Was An A.M.S.A Champion Driver And Worked For My Dad For Several Years Before He Was Hired By Team Menards Indy Car Team In Indianapolis. Doug Is An Excellent Machinist And Was A Great Asset To Doemelt Chassis.
The First Down Tube Doemelt 1100 Mini.
Nobody Liked The Scoop Hood In 1988.
Its Funny How 10 Years Later Everybody Changed There Mind.
The Throttle Shane Cottle Ran Doemelt Cars In His Early Days.
I Think He's Still Pretty Fast Last Time I Checked.
Fast For Someone From Kansas Illinois Anyway!!
