Muroc, #California, was originally a railroad water stop in the early 1900s. The name honors early settlers Ralph and Clifford Corum, whose surname is spelled backwards as "Muroc". In 1910, the Corum family settled at the edge of the lakebed and raised turkeys and alfalfa. They also located other homesteaders in the area for a fee of $1 per acre, and earned contracts for clearing land and drilling water wells. They then opened a general store and post office, but were unable to have the post office named "Corum" because there was already a Coram, California, so they reversed the spelling of their name and named it "Muroc". Racing events were held at Muroc dating back into the '20s and in 1937, over 90 #racecars (including eight modified Model T #Fords!) dashed across the desert. The following year, on May 15, 1938, over 225 racers showed up to compete in what must have been a cross between Burning Man and #Indy. #cartok #history #historytime #historybuff

The success that followed the debut of their first original #carburetor prompted brothers George and Earl #Holley to move their headquarters from Bradford, #Pennsylvania, to the car capital, Detroit. In 1907, the first Holley plant in #Detroit opened on Rowena Street. That year proved important to Holley history in another way. A 6-cylinder #car , equipped with a Holley #Magneto, won a 24-hour road #race without a whimper. Thus, began Holley's association with race #cars that win. Following their move to Detroit, the Holleys also started a plant to manufacture a kerosene carburetor for Henry Ford's tractors. No fool in business matters, #Ford offered in 1917 to buy the "plant that makes the car carburetor." And so, the Holley Brothers Company became part of the #FordMotorCompany, and George and Earl reorganized under the new name Holley Kerosene Carburetor Company. They also opened a foundry on Vancouver. During this period in their history, Holley supplied carburetors to #Chevrolet and Ford, as well as #International Harvester. World War I quickly followed, and Holley supported the war effort with shipments of carburetors, ignition equipment, and brass heads for 75mm shells. In January 1918, realizing their future was tied to the #gasoline carburetor, the Holley brothers once again changed their company's name; this time to the Holley Carburetor Company so as not to be associated solely with the manufacture of kerosene #motors. #history @Holley
