Amici:
Mike Belfer had one. I think it had an Excelsior (sp?) engine. Little bitty
thing. Somewhere I've got a picture of me sitting in it at ROAD AMERICA. I
appear somewhat larger than the car, and we stuck two rubber boots in the
headlamp holes, so it looks like my feet are sticking out. At the time there
was
a dozen or so similar that were racing vintage. All Greek to me, but they had
names like Deutsche Bonnet (sp?). I think there were several Crosley Hot
Shots in the group too. They have not been back for a while.
