"Indy car driver, 'Stubby' Stubblefield tries out Harry Alley's midget [NEHI Special] for size at a showing of the small cars at Oakland Speedway in the spring of 1933.  Alley drove this car in the first ever midget race at Sacremento Ca. on June 4 1933, and a new form of motor sport was born."

Exactly, yes, that's all the info needed for the point.
Well found; I must say I had expected a question or two before it was solved to add to the fun..!

I'll tell you what happened: Researching Wendax's 2220, once it was established it was a GM car from 1933 and several GM marques had been ruled out, I googled "Oakland 1933" (forgetting Oakland had been renamed in '31). This image appeared among the results. It was a coincidental synchronicity between two puzzles!
