Does anyone recognize this car?
 

I stumbled onto this little jewel at Bonneville Speedweek. I couldn't find anyone around the car to ask about it, so I thought I'd post it here and see if any of you IOWers recognize it. There was a small plate in the cockpit that indicated it had run in Indiana, but no other identification. Thanks for your help.

Bonneville Photos of the Speed Demon is a car that Steve Watt of the west coast is working on. It ran over 414mph on a 366 record but hasn't backed it up yet? Don't know for sure.

D.O.

The car ran 421.009 on Sunday and 416.539 on Monday, so the new record should belong to the Poteet & Main Speed Demon. Pretty stout!

Don't know if he's still at it, but a couple o years ago Chuck DeGrane from Louisiana (who formerly ran the yellow C.E.D. #17 Midgets and Sprints in USAC with Tony Elliott, Jerry Coons,Jr, Mark Daily and others) was attempting a LSR with one of the old Midgets. He told me at the time that he was putting together a '27 roadster an putting the Midget engine in for an attempt also.....neat stuff!:9:

The midget reminds me of Ray Arnolds car out of Texas. But I'm not certan.
