Some day I'd like to see a race group of the really early sports cars.
Have you seen at a 1914 Mercer Raceabout lately?
This glorious beast was totally impractical, had no luggage space, no
weather protection, room for only two (does this sound familiar?) -- and
in 1914 the great Eddie Pullen won the 300 mile Corona, California race
at 87.76 mph in one.
Too bad we seldom see stuff like this at our events. Wonder what it
would take to get a bunch of these on a track.......
