Found this from 1913 about Auto Polo. Sounds like it was a cool event. View attachment 417685

Here's another version that looks like it could be just as fun.

Yup those are the right cars but the article i read used an old round channel marker bouy about 6-8 feet round.I definatly could see this game played today with stripped mini trucks rigged up like these cars !Hell we get into demo derbys in cars with less protection !I'd give it a shot with a few extra safety features like 5 point harness helmet and small fuel cell.
