Drivers wearing an advertisement for washing detergent and rear-wheel brakes only - I wonder what country this could be?

This car does not look like anything that would race at Indy or boardtracks. Did it race at Pikes Peak?

twice wrong

I can't find any images of some of the competing cars, so I'm going to guess.

It's Billy Chandler in the Braender Bulldog which was a Mulford/Duesenberg combo at the running of the 1914 Indy 500.

Thank you. If the editors decide to implement the Super-Pro category, this sum will remain static for some time!

I still haven't worked out why the builder of this car decided they needed such a tall bonnet line. It's got a Duesy engine, like so many of its contemporaries, but the design suggests something like an aero engine or one of those long stroke Peugeot motors.
