Mullin Museum, Grand Prix

The upper level was set up in a mock Grand Prix Pit row style of the times









Below, you can see the "aviation" influence in that the lever and cable assembly was the first 
"independent" (front and rear) braking system used in racing.  Adjustment was made by moving the lever up or down for more front or rear braking in turns.  Sadly, the 90 HP engine just didn't have the power to be competitive with the 110 - 116 HP autos in the class.
