Does anyone remember this car?

Came across this picture today. Wondering if anyone knows anything about it since it seems like an unusual car.

Thanks for the replies guys. I can imagine they might have been some characters running a unique car like that in S/C. I love it...keep the info coming please.

That would be Lyle Smith, (Southington, CT) the Atkins St. Garage car, just sold it this year, alky injected SBC, the top of his helmet used to barely show going down the track, whether it was going straight or not!!
P.S. Unique doesn't even come close, but a GREAT bunch of guys.

Thanks Phil , I've been wracking what little brain I have left trying to remember his last name. Going straight was not one of that cars finer points , but I remember we used to all cheer like crazy when he'd beat a dragster and win a round !
