Local Drivers Shine In 12 Hour Race Pairs From San Antonio
Five San Antonio chauffeurs with long local histories competed against veteran drivers in the 12 hour race. Alfred De Hymel, 14 at the time, and Marsh, both young locals, drove the Stoddard to earn money alongside older stars like Van Tine, delivering a spirited performance on the fair grounds track. De Hymel’s early ventures ranged from driving a Winton for Sheriff Tobin to braving mountain trips and even assisting in a jail escape, while Marsh, with 22 years in San Antonio and five in auto service, piloted a rugged gray Mitchell, pushing the limits despite a blown tire and swollen hands. The crowd stayed on edge as local talent matched experienced racers in a high tension event.
