More Hot Shot coverage from Raffi Minassian

I've written about Raffi Minassian before - he's an incredibly knowledgeable car aficionado who got the Crosley bug when he was 10. I first met him at a Crosley meet in 2001 where he sold me a spare Crosley engine that he bought along with racer Chalmers Hall's Crosley-powered Giaur. Raffi writes regularly about auto design and collector cars, and it's always worth a read.

(BTW- my buddy John McKnight bought, and is slowly restoring the Hot Shot in the photo above.)

Raffi just posted a short history of the Crosley Hot Shot at Vintage Road and Racecar - nice overview, and fun pictures of stock Hot Shots and several racing specials - check it out!
