Speedway Motors', Smith Collection Museum has a flathead intake
manifold from a car that must have run in the same class. It was
always a winning car and the guys running under the Speedway banner in
the same class could never quite figure out why. When they acquired
the engine some years later they found the reason ,,, there was a
second carburetor installed against the underside of the intake
manifold, all plumbed and feeding into the same two barrel intake
passages. It's on display at the museum now. Smoky wasn't the only
one playing games.
