Anyone remember the Black Widow? A 9 sec. 168 mph Turbonique powered VW! In 1966! I can hear the question marks from here  |

The engine unit actually drove the rear wheels,
it was not purely thrust.
Would you drive that thing!?

It gets even better,same technology used to power Evel Knievel's Skycycle on its doomed Snake river canyon jump in 1974.  |

Yes, it was running against that four engined monster !
Ivo won, but just barely !
I don't have the equipment needed to convert an 8mm movie into a computer file.
Here is a piece of the film on my scanner.
