Notice the nose square and with tape over it.
I am not thinking that intake plenum that looks like a Foyt is actually on a Foyt engine - you cannot see the requisite plumbing above it in the center of the engine that would be there - especially the rather large thing sticking up on most 1972 Foyts I can find a photo of..... The rollbars look different and the nose appears to be much shorter (less space between the wings and the tires on the photo in question)... Also the cowling leading up to the cockpit is a much gentler slope than the Atlanta.
I am not saying all this to be combative - I am very curious as to the lineage oaf this car as well as the Atlanta in question - which I always wondered what an "Atlanta" was about anyway.....
To everyone else forgive my yelling.
Interesting but the car had handling problems and this was one way of getting pass it. This car was not a handling dream and was having a problem turning. Now is that a Radiator? No, the cut the nose off as they did to the #21.Quote:

Oh yes I was standing about even with the front wing to the right of that picture.
This picture makes the other one stand out even better.
It was built and designed by the guys that built the 1971 McLaren and paid for by Firestone and Gene White.Quote:
