Same as Catalog # 513616. SPORTS: Half-Pint Hot Rods. "San Francisco tots, in the 5-12 year bracket, scorch around a sand-lot track in midget racers powered by 2 hp. lawn mowers motors. Twenty torrid heats at a terrific 20 MPH!" Boys prepare to race: one mother kisses her son, a kid pulls goggles down over his face. Various shots of the children driving miniature race cars (powered by lawn mower motors) around a small track. They wear helmets. Family members cheer. Winner gets a kiss from a girl - then another kiss! (The things they made kids do for the newsreel cameras!)
