History Rear Engined Midget built in Essex, MA does it still exist?

Pictures are from Pines Speedway in the late 60's early 70's? Built by someone named Perkins I think, clever little bugger, never heard of it 'til now...looks like an Alfa motor

 

You can see snow I think in one pic, and one snapshot is marked '68. Man I would love to find this car!

 

The late great Mark Donahue in Ken Brenns pusher midget at Lime Rock, early 60s. Similar but I doubt it's the same car (?)

 

A friend has one...interestingly enough it looks like the one Donahue is sitting it, but I believe it has Massachusetts history.

i asked ed perkins today and he told me the car is being restored by someone in the middleton area. i will try to get some more info about the car and post it when i can

 

Was that the racetrack in Groveland? if so, I grew up down the street for the remnants of that track. The neighborhood kids and I built BMX jumps all around that place in the mid 80s.

 

yes, that's the one, must have been fun for BMX

 

i think they prefer to be called "Little Cars"

Seriously though that thing looks bad a$$. I'd love to take that up Pikes Peak in Anger!
