A single pedal controls the design of the brake / throttle

There is also a book that describes the car's novel single pedal-controlled brake / throttle design for better toe-to-toe fit: "The pedal is designed as an oscillating mechanism, and to brake, Fageol steps on the pedal; So, I think it is like a traditional hinge pedal, but with a brake hub Bale. Even better, Louie Fageol, after experimenting with more power from two Porsche engines, finalized a supercharger using a chain saw engine instead of an engine belt drive. As a result, the car really has four engines: two Porsche horizontal four-cylinder machines, and a pair of chain saws that can be started from inside the cockpit. This car in the 1953 to 1954 season performance is quite eye-catching, took part in the United States competitions, despite the mechanical failure, it is more powerful rivals in the competition has made a good finish. Its doomsday was destroyed by a double accident at Pebble Beach. Twin-Porsche was out of control and pulled out of the track, the rear of the same car ran out of control hit it lead to complete destruction of the vehicle. Fortunately, Fageol himself suffered only minor injuries.
