That black and white photo has always been one of my favorites. I was born 30 years too late.

So ...... we have an under the hood shot of the Wildfire and now this last picture perhaps is the most interesting. There are 3 sleds showing in the picture.
Two of them are what I believe to be the very first Sprinfire prototypes. This is the first picture I have ever seen of a under the hood shot. This appears
to be a liquid cooled motor and a oil tank. Notice the handle bar instrament pods on both of them. The seconond Sprintfire is in the very right bottom
corner. Verry COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
