  • Wow, you guys in Europe have it all over us in the USA, I used to think we were nuts about racing but fact is you really have neat stuff over there. ...and it's been around so long, so many makes and classes. I'd sure as hell miss sprint cars on dirt though. I really enjoyed the video, thanks.

  • @ANBratlie The car was a Lion Pegot of about 1908/1909. Several were made with slightly different engines but because the racing rules of the time handicapped both bore and number of cylinders, they were all V-twins of ridiculously long stroke. Various figures were quoted ranging from 90 x 190, to 100 x 250 (which latter I think is fictitious).

  • I know this video is quite old, so I might not get an answer.. but what kind of engine has number 70 got? It sounded awesome.

  • No 70!!

  • wow! great vid. loved number 73. it had a beautiful shape.
