EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Leighnor WL-4 NX3154, a Formula One racing machine designed and constructed by William C. Leighnor in Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1948. Registered with the number 42, this single-seat, open-wheel racer was affectionately known as the W-4, WL-4, or Mirage. Powered by an 85hp Continental C85 engine, the WL-4 boasted a wingspan of 18 feet 7 inches and a length of 17 feet 5 inches. The sleek and aerodynamic design of the WL-4 was a testament to Leighnor's engineering prowess and his dedication to the sport of racing. Two brave pilots, H.E. Bangerter and Harry Ragland, took turns behind the wheel of this impressive machine. The WL-4's agility and speed made it a formidable contender on the race circuit. Although it did not bear the name of a major racing team or corporation, the WL-4 held its own against more well-known competitors. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in racing history, when passion, innovation, and determination were the driving forces behind the sport. The Leighnor WL-4 NX3154 stands as a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of its creator and the courage of its pilots. This image is a must-have for any racing enthusiast's collection.
