Nope. The Echidna coverage is confined to a footnote at the end of the Scarab section that says, "There were also some other specials racing at this time called Echidnas. Named after an Australian monotreme whose distinguishing characteristic is the use of the same orifice for reproductive and excretory functions, these cars were basically Devin-bodied '55 Chevys and were likely built after a long winter and too much Peppermint Schnapps. Remarkably, they ran pretty well."
