Notes: This "rail job" had reportedly been built in just six hours. On Aug. 24, he set a new track record for cars at Tidelands Circuit drag strip of 104.65 mph. The Tidelands Circuit was a road course but began running drag races on the straightway in mid-August. On Aug. 31 at Tidelands, Tony Renna of Huntington Park tied Hardcastle's track record of 104.65 mph in his '32 Ford. On Sep. 7 at Tidelands, Hardcastle had the meet's top speed of 100 mph but was slowed by a headwind. Photo: Redwood City Tribune, Aug. 29, 1952 - MB

Notes: Owner Sam Arena ran a motorcycle shop in Palo Alto. Arena had originally built the bike for hill climbs but took it to Tidelands to see how it would do on the drag strip. It did very well with Cummings aboard, beating the old strip record by over ten mph. Photo: Redwood City Tribune, Aug. 29, 1952 -- MB
