	Four Small Wheels 2/2003 - technique
		Lance Reventlow’s Scarabs were pretty much unbeatable in American sports car racing in 1958 - and for that matter, after they were sold to Jim Jeffords and Augie Pabst for the 1959 season.
		Lance spent about 1.5 million 1960 US Dollars to build two F1 cars, several desmodromic valve engines that never performed to specifications, and a rear-engined F1 that never was raced.
		Lance ran in 6th place until it started to rain whereupon he dropped back through the field before stopping in the pits to recruit Augie Pabst, who was quite fast in between stops to dry out wet electrics.

		Reventlow was later to claim that his car was two years late and had he tackled F1 in 1958 the Scarab would have been competitive, but when one looks at Monaco qualifying times in previous years one discovers that he and Daigh would have only just been on the grid in 1954.
		As the son of Betty Hutton, the heiress to the Woolworth fortune, Lance Reventlow was able to indulge his passions, the foremost of which was racing cars.
