After serving four years in the South Pacific during WWII, Jack McAfee returned to the dry lakes in 1947 driving a sprint car he purchased from 12 time Indy 500 participant Babe Stapp, and clocked 122.95 on El Mirage.

Because the sprint car was classified as a streamliner, it competed directly with the V8 belly-tank "lakesters" which were far more powerful and streamlined. Wanting to gain points for the Throttlers, McAfee switched to a different engine class using a highly modified Studebaker "Champion" straight six motor. The combination was effective and earned him the high points award in 1952.
