Back to the late 70's, the ride along (in a jump-seat) in this 917/30.
Car was in the ownership of Otis Chandler, I won a ride for 20 minutes around Riverside Int'l Raceway...I was hypnotized by that raucous symphony. Over 200+mph down the back straight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) This was the Talledega record car...which was formerly in the Cam 2 livery for the record run. BTW Otis also owned the Gulf 917 in the pic. |

When I removed the 3L engine to custom adapt the horiz fan , I had the engine freshened up, new displacenent to 3186 cc, twin plug fresh intercooler (through the trunk), brakes upgraded, bigger 10 point cage, gt bodywork & new paint...and she has looked like this since 1995 Now there’s a good reason to give up the rear trunk! Great story Marty; thanks for the ride down memory lane. |
