Midget racing, somewhere in the USA? Did you ever see a less sanitary rear suspension setup and more deadly steering geometry? One hopes this deathtrap wasn't terribly fast..... :o :o

Not that car - I think we've had that before (and I solved it!). The CMC was front-engined and had to be because it was FWD!

That was a blind guess as I hadn't seen a photo of it. (reminder to self - check thoroughly before posting!)  :-[

It's a JMW built by John Wynne. The photo was taken at Rob Roy in the late 50's.
