Don's autograph
I never had the chance to meet Don Edmunds, but his workmanship Is outstanding. He created beautiful race cars and was a special part of our racing history. I love the look of his # 54 Super!
Don Edmunds (September 23, 1930 Santa Ana, California) was an American racecar driver and car builder.
He changed the nose on his first Kurtis midget car from Kurtis' design to his own. Indy car builder Eddie Kuzma hired Edmunds to fix the dent in Jimmy Bryan’s car after the driver kicked the car.
He had his first start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1957. He won the 1957 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year after finishing nineteenth over Bill Cheesbourg, Elmer George, Mike Magill, and Eddie Sachs. Edmunds' Indy career ended in with a serious practice accident at the Speedway in 1958.
He founded Autoresearch, Inc. in Anaheim, California, which specialized in building midget cars and sprint cars. His chassis won several National Midget Championships in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He became a collector and restorer of old race cars.
He built Evel Knievel's Snake River Canyon Sky cycle
Edmunds was named to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1991. He was inducted in the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1994
