Kurtis Kraft

[1] Kurtis built some very low fiberglass bodied two-seaters sports cars under his own name in Glendale, California between 1949 and 1955.

"[2] The Kurtis Kraft chassis midget car featured a smaller version of the Offenhauser motor.

The National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame describes the combination as "virtually unbeatable for over twenty years.

One Kurtis midget car was also entered in the 1959 Formula One United States Grand Prix driven by Rodger Ward.

It was not designed for international-style road racing and with an undersized engine it circulated at the back of the field for 20 laps before retiring with clutch problems.
