I got excited seeing the thread title but unfortunately had no clue what that car was.
Enjoyed the vintage CRP motor tubes though thanks : )

I cannot help on identification, but I have a question. At first glance, it appears that the belt drive set up would be light and efficient compared to a shaft drive system. What were it's problems and/or why isn't it used more today?

Isn't the newest Schumacher cat K1 still belt drive? Pretty much all onroad touring cars are belt drive, but they, obviously, don't have to deal with on-power landings from jumps. Mostly though, I think most cars have gone shaft drive for durability and less maintenance. Same reason most 4wd buggies have gone gear diffs. Better able to keep dirt out and deal with the high torque of brushless motors.

It looks more like a Schumacher Cat 98 with alternative (possibly Fibrelyte) shock towers.
