This is Al Blixt, Sr. leaning against a "big car" driven by Glenn Myers in 1936. The notation says "Greenville (Ohio), 1936. This was before he began writing for the Illustrated Speedway News. Within a few years he was covering racing in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
Here is Al seated in another race car on that same summer day in 1936. #17 bears the "Ray Spl." markings on the cowl. Not sure who the driver was. Does anyone know?
