1906 Lakester

["John Burk" <joyseydevil@comcast.net>]

This week's Old Cars Weekly had a picture of the Stanley Brothers 1906/7 Dewar
Trophy "lakester" . With the skinny tires and the 3 foot wide <====> shaped
body it looks as slippery as any modern lakester . The frontal area was 9 sq
ft. including the tires . 1300 psi steam pressure . Nothing timid about those
guys . It broke in pieces after a 150 mph crash . Maybe that's why we've
stopped using wooden chassis .
