Racing Tether Car Built by Frank Pawlikowski, 1945-1950

Tether cars, gas-powered model race cars, were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. They were raced individually while tethered to a central pivot, or against each other on a scaled-down board track. Racer Frank Pawlikowski won two national championships and one international championship with his tether cars. He also set various track speed records.
