It won't be that: it was front-drive with swing-axles suspension! OK for a Track car, but quite interesting at Oulton Park where I saw it win its only race.

The twin-cam engine in this car gave it record-breaking performance without it ever having run on a dynamometer.

1939 Thorne Engineering Special?  Driven by Jimmy Snydeer at Indy, it was the first car to average over 130 mph in qualifying, if that's what it is...I only have a small picture of the car.

Why suffer with a little picture when you can purchase the life-sized 3D version? I imagine that it's not cheap.
