EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek lines and raw power of the Johnson Special N2E Betty Jo Formula One racer during a race in the late 1940s. Designed and built by Luther Johnson in 1948, this midget racer was one of two similar vehicles created in his workshop, both powered by an 85hp Continental C85 engine. Measuring just 17.4 inches in width and 16.4 inches in length, the Betty Jo was a compact yet formidable machine. In its first season, the car was piloted by Charles Barton and carried the race number 51. The following year, it re-emerged on the track under new ownership and a new name, the Sheldon Special, with L.C. Sheldon at the wheel. The Johnson Special N2E Betty Jo was a testament to Johnson's engineering prowess and the spirit of innovation that defined the early days of Formula One racing. Its distinctive design and impressive performance left a lasting impression on spectators and competitors alike, making it a beloved and iconic figure in the annals of racing history. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of motorsports, a time when passion, skill, and determination were the keys to success on the track. The Johnson Special N2E Betty Jo remains an enduring symbol of the thrill and excitement that continues to draw fans to the sport today.
