Ellen,
The car was owned and driven by Alan Richards and ran in 1963. It was
powered by a 2.8 cubic inch two-stroke Garelli. Its high speed was 56 mph
running in Experimental Streamliner Class. To my knowledge, there was no
record. A picture of Alan pushing the car can be seen on my web site
www.bryantauto.com , once on the web site, go to Bryant Racing, then scroll
down to and click on Photo Gallery.

I am looking for Alan Richards,he drove the little car called Claustrophobia
or later in years it was called the Eggmobile.He was from Escondido Calif.I
believe he ran around 1964.I also believe his record was in the 64 MPH
area.I
think his motor was a 65cc.The car looked like a egg with a stinger sticking
out the back.I believe it was about 4 foot long and 2 1/2 feet high.It
looked
like it ran on bicycle wheels and tires...Thanx 4 your time ....Harry
