....I think........due to "sucking the car down" onto the track. I know it's crazy, but most devices now in production had their prototypes, crashes, failures, etc., and this was one that never made it very far.
Jim Hall, of Chaparall fame, had a big vacuum cleaner built into his Can AM racer, and it would suck the car down onto the track, and he could power around corners like nobody else could. But the power it took to do that, and the weight, meant he didn't have the power on the straights, and I think they eventually banned that concept all together because it was so radical.
