Ford V Ferrari was a great Flick - but here is some real vintage "drama" -- no Hollywood "Kit Cars here. 1960 - no roll bar, first in class:

OOps - I see that was in Post #10... well, at least it deserves a refresh with FvF!

Ford vs. Ferrari was a really good movie. Even my wife liked it. The racing footage (and sound) was excellent.

Netflix also has a couple of Shelby/Ford shows that are pretty good: Shelby American and 24 Hour War.

Thought this was interesting.

I searched, this isn’t a repeat, but looks familiar.

There’s a car like this on YouTube where they swapped a Toyota 6 cyl in. The car was a complete wreck when they started, so it isn’t like the cut up a nice car.

A motion car according to the title. Not a race car, but looks nice.

Well, at 5 minutes I was wondering what was going on, then he gets to the good stuff.

An actual vintage racing vette.....

Looks like wide 5 stock car hubs on front.

If you following this thread, and have Netflix, they just released a Willy T Ribbs movie. Might be good. Glad to see him back in vintage racing with Duntov.


[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKwfDjfO9Pw[/ame]

Edit: watched the first 40 minutes, it is pretty good. I hope he got a big chunk of cash from Netflix!!!! I enjoy shows more by splitting them up over a few evenings.

70 355 ci Limerock Vintage Race 2010

Wow 10 years ago already. Limerock, CT
This 70 Corvette gets better & better with each lap & race.
Listen to the purr of that small block!
Prepared by Jim Glass.

The Silver colored XKE Jag-u-r's were ex Factory lightweight models which were often the winners. (? Donovan Racing. ? MA ?)

I like the huge grill behind the front tires. I wonder if those flares came from Duntov.

 

[Geoff Coenen]

I don't know if Duntov designed those flares - but I'm sure he would have approved. Jim Glass did some work on this beauty - so he may know.
In the future at Limerock I'll ask Jim.

 

[rtj]

Not really racing, but Leno interviews are pretty good.

Yeah, be interesting to hear any background, I meant these flares:

The extra wide ones.

 

[BBShark]

I don't recall ever seeing a Pantera racing. Don't know why maybe I just missed it. It sure pulled away in the 2nd race.

Loved the sound of the Vette!

the "father" of the L-88 flare is a former GM styling engineer and Owens-Corning team member Randy Wittine, also responsible for many of the racing Corvette paint schemes we all know and love...including the original psychedelic blue-white-purple on my former car when it raced in Germany 71-72

Duhhh - Duntov GS Replicars OK
If I had more garage space I'd like a Duntov Grand Sport. A local Body Shop built a replica, even put Webers on it. Sold well.

Somewhere lost in my clutter is an obscure list of GM race parts - IIRC some are fiberglass.

That 70 Vette was purring. In that last race, number 3 the Pantera was on the pole, with the 911 followed by Marks 70 Corvette. The Pantera was DNF before the first lap got to where we were filming. He blew by the 911 and nobody challenged him. Supposedly a 355 ci SBC; but I never saw the hood open.

Does 10 years ago count as Vintage ?

Went to Limerock web site to get an track side RV spot for this July race with the C8R - and they are sold out! Bummer.
Plan B get Corvette Corral Parking.

Rain or Shine.
2010 Practice in the RAIN
A real Rain Dance - he almost got stuck crossing the grass.

This chicane was added to slow the fastest cars down. Previously they went straight up the hill & the air got under one & it flipped over upside down. This is a favorite viewing spot at this track. You can see them coming on the back straight & then turn right & up the hill for fast cars. Or through the chicane for vintage cars & slow models.

When John Wayne Walker took delivery of this beauty at Bloomington - it was just a VIN tag & the under body tub. Historic. Huuuh.
