I don't think anyone's mentioned the two Twin H-Power, dual-carbureted, early-fifties Hudson Hornets of Jack Clifford, one race car, one tow car; BOTH Class winners at Indy one year around 1966.... can't remember exactly when it was.

I don't remember anyone else ever winning class with their race car AND their tow car, at the same race.... much less, at INDY!

Mike Jeffrey's '80 Diplomat. 225 Slant 6, 2 bbl, went 1.2 under at the Kearney Open last year. I passed on buying the car a year before Mike got it because I thought the combination was a turd.
