You got it!
It's a twin-engined front and rear engined car.

I don't know how it ran, but I do know it was a DNQ.
It also appeared at Phoenix in November of that year, but is listed as a DNQ, too slow.

I imagine it was a handful to drive and the handling was never worked out.

Phoenix, do you or anyone else know the story behind the car?

I don't have much it DNQ at Indy due to a lack of speed the fastest lap was 149 mph. The chassis has two Lancia gearboxes (one for each engine), aluminum bodywork and the engines were mounted forward of the wheels on both the ends. Huffaker is still in business making chassis. Came across their site looking a restored Huffaker with MG liquid suspension. Those cars were at Indy 1964 to 1966 just wonder where the Porsche powered one is at now.

If it is Riverside, it was some kind of race. Only 4 out of 28 cars finished! :eek: :)

Yes, it struck me too! A single wrecked car and a couple of dozens of mechanical failures.

The stats on the race say what were they thinking. It was a 500 Kilometer race distance or (313.5 Miles) on a 3.3 mile road course. It was held in the end of August in what is basically a low desert area. Temps had to be about 115 digress maybe more. They just worked those oval cars in to the ground they were not meant for that kind of racing.

I bet the drivers were just used up after the race like the NASCAR Bristol race during the summer.

Let's try this one.

Driver- Dennis Firestone
Year- 1984
Car- March 83C-Cosworth
