Have a look in Google it gives a huge amount of information on the race and the participants.

Mike, running non stop helped, but the car just didn't have enough horsepower for its weight. The winning car qualified at 112 mph, with an average of 96. The Cummins had a top speed of 96 and an average of 86 mph.

If it ran nonstop, why didn't it win? Seems like that would have been a big advantage.

Judging by the grill, this might be the twin car. It was shown at Pebble Beach in 2016.

A riding mechanic in a bowler hat ...................... now that is pretty neat.
It is wonderful that the two cars have survived.

This was built in 1933-34 by Duesenberg Brothers racing using a model A Duesenberg chassis for Cummins and they built two of them .Cummins still owns both
