Danny Oakes
Danny Oakes (July 18, 1911, in Santa Barbara, California – January 13, 2007 in Huntington Beach, California) was a midget car hall of fame driver.
==Early life==
He became interested in racing when he delivered morning and evening newspapers in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California. His favorite day was Monday. He viewed Model T cars powered by Frontenac motors parked outside a downtown Santa Barbara restaurant when the professional racecar drivers from San Francisco came to town. Oakes fantasized about the day he would become a race driver.〔(Oakes Played Right Tune With Indy Roadster Engines ); Dick Mittman; indianapolismotorspeedway.com; August 19, 2003; Retrieved June 22, 2007〕
He began attending races at Legion Ascot Speedway. He built a black roadster with chrome wheels that he drove to the track. The car led to an opportunity to be a mechanic on a bootlegger's racecar. Oakes drove the car at warmups at area racetracks.
