He had some sort of paranoia about how much cooling he'd need ! The engine looks pretty small in proportion to the size of the cooling supply - is it a boxer configuration ?
Sorry, I don't have any information about the engine.
Do you know the race where the car was photographed?

To save you some time, I don't think it is any of the Vanderbilt Cup editions - I looked through every participant I could find and none of them looked similar.

I don't know which race, but I do know a race track where this car was raced.
At Meadows Race Track?
No
were there automobile races hosted on this track after the 1st WW?
No, the racetrack was demolished in 1910.
was this a track in Chicago?
No, you have to go much more to the west.
California?
Yes
The track is the Agricultural Park, I am still looking for the car
1902: Waldemar Grant Hansen at the wheel of his own creation. Hansen raced this vehicle at Agricultural Park.
A machinist by trade, Hansen developed metal machining techniques and provided engine parts for the Tourist Automobile Company, a Los Angeles automaker at the time. He regularly tested his machines on the apricot orchard roads in and around Pasadena and Altadena, eventually leading to the Pasadena/Altadena Hill Climb events of 1906-1909.
Correct, that's all I have, too. One point for you.
