Hot rod and sprint car specialist who made a surprise one-off return, after aeons away from the tracks, at Indy in 1946. Both his Indianapolis 500 attempts saw him enter a custom-built car; in 1932, he entered a Guilberson-Ford and in 1946, he entered his own Offenhauser, but with the same result. But he was better in sprint cars and won the first post-World War Two race at the Gardenia Bowl, in 1946. Arvol raced from the late 1920's onwards until stopping in 1946.
