This just makes me wonder how many club members
realize
that in the beginning of the 20th century, Peugeot was
the first to put together all the elements that
comprise a modern racing engine-overhead cams, crossflow
head, high revs,smaller displacement, hemi-heads,
etc. They also won the Indy 500 on 3 occasions in the
early 1900s-I think it was in the teens like
1913,1916, and something else close.
