Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.

That's the BSR ZXTT to be exact and no it won't fit on your trailer. With the front nose off it barely fits in a car hauler with no room to walk along side due to the skirts. The door won't open enough so you need to pull yourself out without damaging the FG everything. It is the widest car I have ever seen.

Real sorry to see Bob F's 510 looking like that. SVRA at VIR or Mid-Ohio?

Notice the lack of black edging on the contemporary Datsun between the red/white/blue? Adding it makes all the difference.

Bob Leitzinger wrecked his 510 at Road Atlanta last weekend. It happened right in front of me.

A little more modern effort.

Here's a brain teaser for you. How is this picture relevant to racing in general and this thread in particular?

[gnosez]

Nicely staged and I haven't a clue but back in the day the driver would be told not to ever load luggage that way again. Even driving with your elbow out the window was considered a no-no.

Ha! As an aside, (not the answer) I went to my 5 year class reunion in that very car. Imagine pulling in to White Castle at 2am and piling out to order gut bombs. 

 

It it isn't about the car though, or the driver or the lady for that matter.

Newman's hangout

 

[conedodger]

Exactly. The building is the Westport Country Playhouse. Newman lived and Woodward lives in the neighborhood. They are part owners of the restaurant next door. Woodward (now 87) was the artistic director for much of the 2000's before PLN died. 

As another aside, no one will be giving the driver a talking to. He owns the car. It was commissioned for the King of England.

In 1969 Newman was hanging out with Big Willie https://www.hemmings.com/magazine/mus/2015/04/Father-of-the-Brotherhood/3748454.html

By whom?

The last King died in 1952...
