This thing looks like a cross between a Bonneville needle and a duallie-wheeled sports car.

If you don't weigh much, you don't need big h.p. to go fast. You don't wear-out tires, brakes and create drag and excess heat. Remember the "Captain Nemo" Mosler Raptor that used a 4 cyl Chrysler turbo engine? The one w/the split windshield?
And the Consulier GTP?

Well, this makes the "Captain Nemo" car look almost common, ummm, maybe less-radical? Oh, just read the article and watch the videos. Brought to you by development team All-American Racers, which was started by some regional driver you've probably never heard-of. He's pretty-old so why would any of you youngsters know who he is, what he did, or where he raced? I met his a couple of times, about 46 years apart, I have the pics and the autograph to prove it.
By the way, he also has a series of bikes he's developed, I believe he named them the "Alligator" series, as he tweaked the design. Not really mainstream either, but incorporating some of the same general ideas-low drag, smaller powerplants, unconventional bodywork, and very, very functional. Easy to drive/ride, low weight, easing loads and wear/tear on the components.
