Oh boy! Nice "farm"; nice "jalopy". But those fellers should have had some ear protection before heading out on that jaunt.

Fabulous! Thanks Bill. It was common practice, in that car's era, to take an aircraft engine and build a race car around it.

Doubt it's over 50 hp, and likely less. Not a need for much tire. My old Austin 4 cyl. was rated 8hp, and guesstimates said it was likely more at the crank.
