EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and agile Miller Special N5623N "Little Gem," a midget racer that graced the tracks in the late 1940s. With race number 14 proudly displayed on its side, this open-wheel marvel was piloted by the skilled Jim Miller. Powered by an 85hp Continental C85 engine, this lightweight racer boasted a wingspan of 15 feet and a length of 17 feet. The "Little Gem" was a unique creation, with shortened Luscombe wings that added to its distinctive appearance. However, this racing beauty met with misfortune when it was involved in a crash. Despite the setback, the resilient Miller didn't let the damage deter him. Instead, he rebuilt the racer in 1959, transforming it into the Miller JM-1N47J "Ole Tiger." This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in motorsports, when courageous drivers pushed their machines to the limit on the race track. The "Little Gem" stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creator, Jim Miller, and the thrill of competition that continues to captivate audiences today.
