Bill Burke soon learned that the larger 315-gal. P-38 belly tank made a better “Lakester,” as they were classed, with the driver in front and engine in back.

Eddie Miller’s dad helped Stu Hilborn hit 150 in his narrow hand-built ‘liner, but he kept dragging his feet “perfecting” this one, powered by an unusual Pontiac flathead six, for his son.
