It's the wheels I don't understand. Was this a road car?

The car is not road-legal, it has only been used for dirt track racing.

Is this photo available on the internet? I have tried every permutation of key words I can think of and can't find a thing. I think your clues have been sufficient and thank you for them.

American motorcycle engined?
