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........:topic: eyecandy

no apologies, Jim. That's a cool story. Thanks for sharing.

My first car was a 1/4 midget size version with the same number. Rear mount single cylinder Continental engine with direct drive. Pic taken almost 50 years ago on 1/4 mile track after my first race. Loved that car!

Nice looking 572 cid/5 speed car...
 

I went to that event. It was awesome seeing those cars doing what they were meant to do! It was also fun seeing how our old junk compared to some of today's super and hyper cars.
