This is photo shows, Stan, his brother Fay (who is behind Stan's right shoulder), Stan's wife Jackie and Ed Silva.
Stan bought his first Harley in 1944 at age 16. He first raced on the salt flats of Bonneville in 1951 setting a short lived land speed record of 156 mph. This was the first year the Southern California Timing Association invited motorcycles and Stan was one of only 10 riders asked to participate.

It was during this period that Stan raced his reputedly undefeated 1937 Indian Scout drag bike.
A great
