Excuse me! Which way to Indianapolis? I hear they're going to have a race at a brickyard!

I hate having to get out and walk around to lock the hubs in every time you want to go four wheelin'.

When I get this sucker up to 88 mph all hells gonna break loose!

Geez Jimmy, this is the first time I've ever seen a portable still. Maybe you should mix 15% gasoline in it to keep people from drinking the stuff.

When were done you gotta wash it.

From the looks of the tires these guys have a male dog.

Look at the size of the fuel tank on this beast. It's got to be at least a 40 gallon tank. They must have figured they were going on an endurance run or the Indy 500 or something like it. I'm having a hard time figuring out the tube from the front of the vehicle to the back of the cowl.

Air cooled engine. Blower driven from crankshaft. The best is the exhaust manifold. No back pressure there.

That engine is interesting. They must have dropped the thing in there in a couple hours and were ready to go. Is the flap under the exhaust to keep the carbs from freezing up? I can make out the blower on the front of the driveshaft now that you said that. But I still think it's a portable still. There's a firebox under that huge tank behind the seat.

Well, I knew that. An 839 cu in fryer-miler. Could tell that with no problem. You know they only built 3 of these kind of racer cars. You Know they built these cars for the Vanderbilt Cup Race. That's where these cars came from. They're kind of rare you know they only built, like 3 of these cars. DOH!
