More InfoSeabiscuit (May 23, 1933 - May 17, 1947) was a champion
Thoroughbred racehorse in the United States. A small horse,
Seabiscuit became an unlikely champion and a sumbol of hope to many
Americans during the Great Depression. Those who knew him loved him
simply as The Biscuit.Seabiscuit was foaled in Lexington, Kentucky,
a grandson of Man o' War. Seabiscuit grew up on Claiborne Farm in
Paris, Kentucky. Seabiscuit was a very small horse. Seabiscuit did
not at all resemble anything in the way of his fast or powerful
counterparts.The original owners sold Seabiscuit to Buick
automobile entrepreneur Charles S. Howard.He made his fortune as an
automobile dealer and became a prominent thoroughbred racehorse
owner. Howard has been dubbed the most successful Buick dealer of
all time.The thoroughbred experts reasoned Seabiscuit was too small
to race. But the Biscuit did not care; he ran anyway.Seabiscuit had
a desire for running and winning. When he ran all Biscuit's family
could feel that pleasure.The GSX Biscuit Edition started life much
like that of Seabiscuit with numerous similarities.The undersized
weak 350 Skylark, under 200HP, resembled Seabiscuit's modest
beginnings.GSX abbreviates Gran Sport Experimental which is so
appropriate for this car.Inspired with the history and image of
Seabiscuit the horse, I conceived the idea to build the all
original one family hand me down little 350 Skylark into a winning
350 GS Experimental with power and race that exceeded Buick's
optional original 455 engine of the Skylark family.The Biscuit
Edition 350 horse power exceeds the factory 455/360HP by nearly 80
horsepower at an uncommon 439.2hp/ 435.8tq.Seabiscuit, the horse,
inspired so many of the unfortunate with modest beginnings. It is
hoped this one of a kind Biscuit edition of GSX will inspire,
remind, or make known the Seabiscuit story or how the little guy
sometimes wins when so inspired to do so even against all odds.I am
so reminded of the Seabiscuit history every time someone remarks;
the little 350 is too small to run with the 455 big brother. I bear
in mind a Biscuit finishing moment, a Charles Howard smile &
experience that Biscuit Pleasure. Visit Central Kentucky Classic
