[Ray B.]

Not a Simplex. Would another picture help?

[Otto Puzzell]

It sure did.

The Studebaker racing history began in an alley on Indiana Ave. in South Bend several miles from the factory in 1930. An inspired group of young employees fabricated a
Two-man racecar powered with the 337 CID Studebaker President 8 engine mostly from parts off the shelf at Studebaker. Their car was named the "ROMTHE". It was the first letter of the last name of each of the builders "Richards"; "Onishi"; "MacDonald"; "Tate" and "Hundley". They added an "E" to make it sound melodi

[Ray B.]

It sure did.
