This photograph showcases the Nimmo Midget Racer NX67894 Pffftt, a remarkable Formula One racing machine designed and built by Rod Nimmo in Albuquerque, New Mexico, around 1947. With its sleek and aerodynamic design, the Nimmo Special was a sight to behold on the race track. Powered by a potent 85hp Continental C85 engine, this midget racer boasted impressive specifications, including a wingspan of 19 feet 6 inches and a length of approximately 15 feet 6 inches. In its racing prime, the Nimmo Special NX67894 Pffftt reached breathtaking speeds of 137.88 mph. The racer, adorned with the number 39, was piloted by the skilled Mike Argander. However, the racing days of this marvel were short-lived, as the Nimmo Special was dismantled around 1949. Some of its parts were repurposed for other racing projects, including the Sorenson Special Deerfly and the Smirnoff Special. The Nimmo Special NX67894 Pffftt represents a significant moment in the history of midget racing, showcasing the ingenuity and determination of its creator, Rod Nimmo, and the daring spirit of its driver, Mike Argander. This photograph is a testament to the passion and innovation that drove the world of Formula One racing in the late 1940s.
