Did they lose the cars to the crusher or can they buy them back at auction?

C’mon all you Fast Drag Racers, Improve your riding skills that could possibly help your top end times shortening your ET. Learn how aerodynamics could decrease your ET by allowing your bike to spend more HP moving down track. See how an aerodynamic front fender could cut a tenth off your ET.

An ergonomic fail, and questionable aerodynamics, but it is intriguing looking.

Walter Baker and His Remarkable Electric Racing Cars
Walter Baker and His Remarkable Electric Racing Cars | The Old Motor








Quote:
By Michael Lamm. Back in 1902-03, Walter C. Baker built three streamlined electric racing cars. Called Torpedos, these all-but-forgotten electrics should be remembered for four good reasons:

Number one and most important, they allowed Walter Baker to become the first man in history to break the 100-mph barrier in a motorcar. That was in 1902.

Second, the Torpedos’ bodies were remarkably streamlined, decades ahead of anything similar.

Third, because Walter Baker regularly crashed his cars, none of his speed marks went into any record books. Even in his own day, he became known as Bad Luck Baker.

And finally, what probably saved his life in all those crashes were plain, simple shoulder harnesses, an idea again much too modern for the times.
