And here I was going to throw into the ring my
20+ years of experiences in trying to keep vintage
Corvettes and Chevelles (big block, and small)
happy on low lead and no lead fuel.
By the way, at a Midwest Council vintage event
(at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, IL) 10/16-17 I was
in my '58 Bugeye Sprite competing with, among
other things, a '64 (or '65) Chevrolet Chevelle coupe.
It was a documented bonafide (sports car classed)
racer from many moons ago. Not only was this car
brutally fast and cornered like it was on rails - when
he passed me I felt like I was being blown away by
a 3 story building. (He was using leaded petrol, btw.)
How big can a vintage race car be? What's the
biggest vintage racer anyone's ever seen? A couple
years ago at RA I saw a 50-something Mercury (?) sedan
running around the track for some reason or another...
This isn't relevant, is it. Sorry derek.lola
