I thought the last photo shows him in at the wheel of Skoda 1100 (well I might be mistaken) after a very successful run. Thus, I supposed he was one of the above. Otherwise, could it be Vaclav Cizkovsky?


Ahem..by the way, ImpishGrin, if you still have some information about racing one-offs from your country, especially 50s-60s SAMs, I would greatly appreciate any... or at least maybe you know some sources?

Also that third picture, where there are three cars, may show a moment of the race at Dvur Kralove nad Labem track... Some historic pictures of that track look rather similar.

So, was Cizkovsly right or no? Can it also be Jaroslaw Pawelka?

Well, here it comes. As far as I know, this car, called Dynamic 60, equipped with a 1100cc engine, was driven by two drivers - Jan Tenora and Boris Kynera. But I think it's rather Tenora than Kynera.

Google Tenora and the car's name and you'll unavoidably find it!

As I thought, you didn't need any more clues to have this one solved. Very well done, and 2 points as promised.

Here is about all I have. It's not revealing any valuable source.

I also have a pdf file in czech. Both seem to be more about the pilot than the car.

Here's what I can do. The part concerning Dynamic 60.

On July, 1954 Jan Tenora has entered two categories in Ecce Homo - 750cc and 1100cc, the latter was listed for the first time. That race has seen Dynamic 60 for the first time. Dynamic 60 was basically nothing more than one of the previous cars equipped with a powerful two-cylinder ESO 1000 (JAP), giving out 82-85hp. The engine, originally developed to be used in Zdenek Treybal's ESO 1100 car (1100cc class) was an air-cooled V-2, produced in collaboration with Jaroslav Simandl. It was a compound of two motorycle one-cylinder units. Those were the major characteristics of the power unit which Treybal prepared yet for a 1953 Liberci race. The chassis together with the engine were taken from Zdenek Treybal. This version could be easily recognized thanks to a big air intake on a bonnet, which was a unique appearance for Czechoslovakian cars and also served as a sort of (didn't understand it for sure, but it says something about 'low-pressure ... both carburettors').
The body was further modified. Wings partially covered (odsavaci - ?) holes, and the rear wheels were by 2/3 covered by (rozmernymi - ?) panels. Ponton body in front of the drived was almost flat, except for a semi-circular 'chapel' made of plexiglas, like sport airplanes had. Dynamic 60 was a very powerful car, but at the same time showed a bad reliability. Jan Tenora had a series of different breakages.

Well, it's not an excellent translation, but still I believe better than nothing :)

Any chance of seeing the pdf (in case it's not the one attached to the article)?  ;)

They didn't - it's a different car. Dynamic 60 had an intake, while the earlier Dynamic 40 didn't.
