260DET Posted February 23, 2018 Share #1225 Posted February 23, 2018 Unusual tyre balance on that Camel car front to rear, effective rear track is way more than the front too. Be fun to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted February 23, 2018 Share #1226 Posted February 23, 2018 The GTU car was the one Bob Sharp picked when I asked of all his cars if he only could drive one which would it be. The rear tires sit on 15 inch rims which was allowed after the Porsche teams requested a rule change. That change was reversed after Bob won the Championship. For vintage events I am required to run 7 inch wide rims but for "fun" events I run 10s in the rear and on slicks not treaded tires. The lap times vary depending on distance covered but I picked up 5 seconds at The Glen on a test & tune day based on using just 10 inch wide rears. With 15s instead it would not be hard to imagine that I could take corners with more entry speed and hook up quicker coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conedodger Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share #1229 Posted March 3, 2018 These are the pictures I want to see come out of the shoeboxes and in to the light. Some of the more obscure efforts. Elkhart Lake mid-1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
