These fools are playing Polo - note the mallet ready to hit the flying passenger on the head! It is about as dangerous on horseback only you do not have to shoot the Model T after you injure it badly!!

The car behind the ice racer looks like a 1913 Ford.

That had to be at least as bad as horseback, yes I knew is must've been polo or croquet of some kind, was kidding about using a T-for ball.. Notice the size of the ball, about like a soccer.

Getting better efficiency out of a car through good aerodynamics is certainly not a new idea; Bucky Fuller did it in the Dymaxion car and Chrysler did it with the Airflow. However before either of them, Harry Stevinson of Bashaw, Alberta took a junked model T Ford (top speed 45 MPH), "aeromodded" it and got it to go 70 MPH. The fuel economy also went from 25 miles per gallon to 38 mpg.
