    According to George Klass, this is Ivo in a short lived twin.I don't remember it, thought it was George's own Nye/Frank/Klass Pulsator.
    Note the lead duct taped to axle.

    Ivo's "giraffe" car, I think this is the car that lunched at Indy 67.

    Probably Don Westerdale in the ramchargers car ( a LOt of guys drove ), Creitz, Greer & Donovan in the far lane.I believe Gene Coleman was driving, before he was killed in the car.

  13. Yes, this is the Dye & Hampton "Two Bad" comp coupe. Hampton ran the right engine turned around backwards. Guess he didn't know about Isky's "left hand" cams.

    I've seen a 4 car drag race before, with doorslammers!
    I bet that would give the strip's insurance agent a heart attack today. Maybe then too!

    Would love to have been there!
