The tiny crazy Nardi Bisiluro, pictured at Le Mans in 1955. In the right side pod sat the driver, in the left side pod, a 734cc Giannini 4-cylinder engine. The featherweight racer was literally blown off the track by a passing Jaguar D Type after 5 laps.

Gary Bettenhausen prepares to take a spin in the 1951 Indianapolis 500 winning, Belanger Special. Gary's father, Tony Bettenhausen, raced the #99 on the Championship Trail that year, winning 8 of the 14 races and taking the national championship. Tony had the opportunity to drive the car at Indianapolis but didn't think the little car would withstand the 500 miles. He was nearly correct, as Lee Wallard took the checkered flag with the shocks and brakes failing on the car. This was originally the Offenhauser/Meyer-Drake house car. But, it was sold to Belanger because their customers complained about the factory beating them so often.
