Packard race car

Just ran into this on a drive through town. The owner lives just a couple miles from me. Only had a few minutes to chat, but apparently this came out of a museum collection (not displayed) and has some history to it. It apparently participated in all the events shown on the car. The current owner has had it in several events as well.

It currently has a modern engine in it with other safety features (roll cage, disc brakes, etc,). Apparently producing somewhere around 900 lbs of torque currently.

Anyone seen this car before? I'll get more info from him. Never expected to see another Packard owner so close, even if it's not original.
