Benny Rapp 1964 CAE Sprintcar .
Built from a CAE kit on a garage floor in Toledo OH. Spec'd as a pavement car to run with IMCA....competed as AAA twice including Canada.
Won pole for it's first race the Little 500 at Anderson Speedway OH. Finished third.
Magnesium Hilborn injected 327 Chevy, magnesium Halibrand wheels, 4-corner magnesium Halibrand disc brakes. Dirt cars sometimes run one caliper.
In-out gearbox, no clutch or flywheel.

Little 500 is held the night before Indy around a quarter mile pavement track, 500 laps with 33 cars competing, so it's basically a 70 mph traffic jam for 3 hours. Unusually, infield pitstops are required for fuel and tires so push starts are chaotic.

Benny Rapp raced speedway for 60 years!

Apologies for the info........ eyecandy
