Sneaky Pete and his "vacuum" device.... By P - 12/28/2000 2:38:52 PM; IP 63.169.28.156 Here's a photo I'll bet not many people have seen. "Sneaky" Pete Robinson was known for innovate "cheating" of any kind that would allow his cars to win. He even had a "jack car" which would jack up the rear end and allow the wheels to spin real fast, and would drop the jack when the green light came on. After showing up at his first race with that rig, they called him up to the tower and said "lose the jack or stay home". This device (vacuum) was intended to suck air from below the car, but it also tended to suck debris too. It's a crazy innovation that Jim Hall (Chaparal fame) developed in other ways later on for road racing.

This thread, so far...
