Reminds me of my buddy's Auburn boat tail Indy car. Any guesses on what the small sprocket ahead of the rear wheel is for?

'

I may be wrong but expect the rear sprocket is for the hand brake/only brakes?:hmmm:
Picture is 1915 @ the Mack factory w/ car one of six 1909 Blitzen Benzes built, same as Oldfield's 1910 Daytona winning racer.
Powered by massive 1310 CID 4-Cyl. engines, these were the Supercars of their day capable of 140+ Mph which was almost double even aircraft speeds at the time.

Best days
 

The Paul Blevins picture above- The best days of Pro Stock racing. I sure miss it!
1967 4K

During a Nascar race about 20 years ago (before I stopped watching) they interviewed Jack Roush during a long rain delay and he pointed out some of his former 70's ProStock rivals in his crew, and there were several. I don't recall if Blevins was one of them but a few from that era worked for Roush later in Nascar.

All true also the best of times/cars/girls/racing/life!
Not much for haulers in this next shot but cool pic, Prudhomme in the background or another '70 Cuda Funny?:hmmm:
