The polywog did set records and as I recall over 300. The car is now owned
by Tim Rochlitzer and is being restored to run again. Even being a front
steer, front drive it had wierd steering habits. Tim is making a lot of
changes to the car and I believe he has made it longer. Somewhere in my
files I have a lot of info on the car with some pictures.
