Also listed as Casman. Young Californian based driver, but did not continue racing much longer after his Indianapolis effort, instead concentrating on his car wreckage business. Cosman, whose first name was actually Charles, was a regular racer at Legion Ascot Speedway in the 1930's, racing alongside the likes of Babe Stapp, Rex Mays and Kelly Petillo. But bar there and his Indianapolis 500 attempt, that was pretty much it racing-wise.
