VARA/TCRA at Cal Speedway
Love the solid color and minimal graphics (it says "it's my car and I don't need no stinkin sponsors"). Those spun aluminum headlight covers are trick.

Test fit BIG tires
Test fitting 335/35/17 Michelin without wheel. Will be getting custom made wheels with any dimensions I need. What I need now is wider fender flairs!

Race wheels/Brakes
Sterling magnesium 14x7 wheels with old Goodyear blue streaks (24"x10") and Hurst-Airheart rear disc and caliper. 70's vintage race stuff.

Anybody Watching Daytona 24 Hrs race?
15 minutes left and my boys are 6 seconds out of 2nd place (but 12 laps behind?). When I went to bed the first 4 cars were on the same lap, now the leader has 12 laps on all of them, I wonder what happened?

Stewart into the lead at 200 laps. He is one of the few Nascar guys that can really drive anything, Sprinters, Indycars, Stockers, Road racers. And he's not a kiss arse corporate spokesmodel.

Anybody Watching Daytona 24 Hrs race?
The track for 24 of Daytona sucks for spectators. Would have to be LeMans, though I've never been there. Better food, drink, women, oh and cars!

Anybody Watching Daytona 24 Hrs race?
Geez, I belived the propaganda about the sunshine state and went in a golf shirt and Members Only jacket (ya back when they weren't comical!). The generator was loud and stinky, and they stopped selling coffee about midnight. Man was I happy to see the sunrise. Awesome watching 962's lap Roush Mustangs, lapping RX-7's at night on the banking!!!!

Rear Control Arm Bushings
You are probably right about inners, although I don't recall them being split (wouldn't have to be to be installed). Having problems with playing videos, will keep trying.

Tony Stewart/ Jan Lammers/ Andy Wallace are running second 7 seconds back. Probably one of the strongest diver line ups, with Dixon/Manning/Mears. Went to Florida once to watch 24 hours. Got freaking cold, spent all night standing next to light generator exhaust pipe!!! I'd never go again without motorhome.

Can't fill Differential!
I believe the plastic vent tube has a curve on the end that goes into cover. The longer side of tube should go towards the rear (shorter side towards gears).

Rear Control Arm Bushings
Carl, correction, there are 4 full inner control arm bushings and 8 half outer bushings (but only when you buy urethane upgrades). Stock rubber replacements are 4 and 4. Either way, just order a kit.

quick release steering wheel hub
Nobody here has driven with a vise-grip on steering shaft? Jed Clampet yes, but when moving around boneyard dogs it works. Sorry, but horn doesn't work that way though.

Differences in the fromt suspension members
Will, at least one of the revisions had to do with slightly different cradle for steering rack. Check on urethane steering rack bushings (application dates for early and late builds) to give idea about when cradle changed.

No bumpers?
How come I see so many pick-up trucks with no bumpers? Different rules for trucks? I've been pulled over once, got a warning for no front plate. Cop didn't notice, or care, about race slicks and no bumpers. Another time I was followed by cop for 10 miles back to my garage, he just wanted to talk cars (no bumpers and race slicks) he hung around for 30 minutes and checked my car out top to bottom. He said "cooool".

How Old?
50+ here. I was about BillRamsey's age when they came out. I've owned two (not including 3 parts donors) and both were racers. Started building my first racecar after getting a full blown ride in Camel GT Z pacecar (previous years Posey championship car) with Don Devendorf and also with Jerry Hanson. Sorry guys, but professional Devendorf wasn't as fast as 26 time national amature champ Hanson. Have had my present car for almost 25 years now. When will it be finished????

Tire Size?
Don't want to hijack this thread, but can anybody tell me the diameter of the two stock size tires (175R14 and 195R14)?
