That was my first thought too....

Probably like the old multi engine dragsters it is some sort of chain drive to a central hub then hooked to a transmission?

I remember watching the tractor pulls back in the '80s when they had four or more engines...with one on each side...they figured it out.

The article says that they built a custom gear box that puts the power through gears to a single transmission...Mark

Wow!....my biggest concern of course is the front end but obviously it isn't intended for cross country travel pulling a big 5ver....

I doubt it goes very far under it's own power. I have seen show cars that have never run
Can't mess up the chrome headers, can we? what a waste!
