One article:

And this is probably what you are looking for if in fact its the 'car' you were after. Pan car in the early days.

Isnt it funny though - we owe homage to the Pan Car????

Most people dont even know what they are. Rail cars, pan cars, tether cars etc...

That was fun to read. Thanks. They still do tether cars today.

I can't find the official site (they have rules and stuff), but this should give you some idea:

It's kind of weird, but some of them don't even run nitro. The rules specify that it must be like X% alcohol and Y% lube or something. Some guy came on the RB forum asking if he could run 0% nitro in an RB engine. A weird request to say the least.
