want lore? Well there was a coach building company that was going out of business as independent coach building was becoming less popular. They started grabbing at straws, and without doing any research, they bought the brand new Burnside Special as a rolling chassis, then built a custom race body on it. It was not only meant to race is open classes, but it was also meant to be a halo car for them.
Unfortunately they weren't engine builders, so they only did what they could see, a custom exhaust, and an ITB intake. The development was just too much, they raced once on an oval circuit wit ha 3 speed manual, then folded. The concept race car was bought, then raced a few more times by an independent, fitted with a 4 speed for circuit racing.
Ultimately it was too heavy, too much lift in the rear at high speed, and the engine was too big for indy, but not powerful enough to take on other categories.
