Lads, I've come across some pictures of car no.79 from the 1966 500. It looks a strange thing, two engines front and rear? Doing a little research on the internet brings up virtually nothing (that I can find), it doesn't look like it even qualified, can any of you help with info? Thanks in advance.

That would be Bill Cheesbourg in the twin-engine Huffaker-Porsche, as discussed in this earlier thread:

I have a digital copy of a very good 2011 Vintage Racecar article by Gary Horstkorta that I can forward to you, if you like. It's too big to post here, so let me know how to do it.
