And all this time, I thought that was Jimmy's daily driver!

Kurt , the restored car shows  a moon tank below the side exhaust. Google Jim Lytle "Quad Al" Dragster , there is a nice Utube video of it!

Oh yea, those would last 0.26 of a mile. ?  I'd like to know how the steering worked.

I suspect the front two engines drove the front axle and the rear two the back axle.

So it would cancel itself out. 

However, it might overheat in traffic with that grille blanked off...!

Seriously it's a crying shame this never got built up to run. 

Cheers,

Anyone ever attempt the Jimmy Lyle, Quad Al 4 Allison engine monster? ?  Where is the gas tank?

I believe this is at the NHRA museum. I've also seen pictures of a 1/8 scale model in progress, but that was years ago and I have no idea who posted it, or to what forum.
