\"\"<\/a>The 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will feature a Hot Rod Lakesters and Bonneville Racers class, honoring the spirit and innovation of land speed racing. Held Sunday, August 15th, the 60th Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2010.<\/p>\n

In the halcyon days of dry lakes racing, during the years just before and after World War II, young men with little money but remarkable intuitive engineering and a lot of enthusiasm built cars in their backyards that rivaled the performance of the best in the world. Before the term hot rod had been coined, they built some very hot cars.<\/p>\n

The Spurgin-Giovanine roadster was such a car. <\/span>Chuck Spurgin and Bob Giovanine loved working with their hands, building things, making things better. They enjoyed working together and they enjoyed being part of a close knit community. The car they built and raced so successfully was recently discovered intact after four decades parked behind a home in the California desert. This diminutive, hand-built racecar has been painstakingly restored and will be part of the Hot Rod Lakesters and Bonneville Racers class at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance on Aug. 15. Current owner Ernest Nagamatsu has brought the car back to its 1940s racing trim and, even more importantly, back into the families of the men who originally built it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping to bring this long lost and legendary racecar back into public view has been a terrific experience,\u201d said Dr. Nagamatsu, a dentist from Los Angeles. \u201cBut connecting with the families of the men who built and campaigned the car, and giving them a chance to see first-hand what their dads cared so much about, has been magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car was a dinner table legend in my family for 60 years,\u201d said Karin Edla-Spurgin, daughter of Chuck Spurgin. \u201cIts resurrection has allowed our families to connect in a remarkable way with the passion that drove our fathers to build something so successful. Ernie and his team share the same camaraderie that my dad and Bob did. No ego, just the pleasure of working on a project and enjoying the fruits of their labor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy earliest memory is pleading with dad to go with him and the car to the races. I wasn\u2019t even in kindergarten,\u201d said Curt Giovanine, son of Bob Giovanine. \u201cA few years later, when the car had been retired and was stored in our garage, I\u2019d bring school friends over. We\u2019d sit in it and pretend we were racing. One friend used to say, \u2018This is the fastest car on four wheels!\u2019 It sure seemed like it to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The hot rod, a uniquely American form of automotive enthusiasm, continues to draw appreciation today and around the world, even from those who know little about cars. The form-follows-function design, the cars\u2019 youthful swagger and the historic sense of community that was integral to early hot rod culture all continue to connect powerfully with people.<\/p>\n

Many consider 1948 to be the peak for California dry lakes racing because that year saw the most entrants and some of the toughest competition. In 1948, the Spurgin-Giovanine roadster broke the existing world record in its class at the six consecutive Southern California Timing Association meets and was the year\u2019s overall High Points Season Champion. It was also \u201cHot Rod of the Month\u201d and on the cover of the March 1949 issue of Hot Rod magazine. The car was unusual because it was powered by a highly modified four-cylinder Chevrolet engine when virtually all other successful competitors ran Ford or Mercury V8s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car epitomizes hot rod ingenuity, and its story is one of community and family. It\u2019s still drawing people together,\u201d said Dr. Nagamatsu. \u201cCurt Giovanine discovered he had the original 1948 header for the car, as confirmed by weld marks shown in photographs from the 1948 season. He said to me, \u2018This header belongs to the car,\u2019 and he gave it to me. This reflects the spirt of the project and the car. As one of the most important and significant hot rods ever raced, I\u2019m honored to share it with families of Bob and Chuck and to have it included in this year\u2019s Hot Rod Class at the Pebble Beach Concours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hot Rod Lakesters and Bonneville Racers class at this year\u2019s Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance will include cars built and raced between 1927 and 1953, the year\u2019s when this form of racing developed and flourished. The 60th Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance will also honor the 75th anniversary of Jaguar and the centennial of Alfa Romeo, feature Pierce-Arrow, and showcase Italian designer Ghia. Special classes will focus on the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, the centennial of the Indianapolis 500, and Prewar American Motorcycles.<\/p>\n
