more than one motor

I was looking at different threads in aerodynamics section and came accross the link for Dave Cloud's 8ETek Chopped Geo Metro and while the aero mods interested me it was the drive picture that intrigued me. I can't post links till I have more posts but the picture is of the drive section of his car and has 8 sprockets for motors although only three are actually in the picture. I did not take this picture but it looks like more than one motor attached to more than one drive shaft connected directly to the wheel.

What I want to know is .. am I seeing this right or missing something .. and how are they wired up as far as controlls. Hard to see as the bottom of the picture is cut off.

Does anyone have a current link to more information about this vehicle .. several I tried were not about this car. Anyone have better contact info for Dave Cloud?

Don

Did you notice the telephone number he gave here? The *Ultimate* Aerodynamic Car? Dave Cloud's "Dolphin"

If you do call him, I'd like to know what it would take to make the Dolphin a daily driver.
