Sebring HSR - 68 Corvette in car 1st Feature Race
This is the first race of the weekend. We started on the outside of row one behind a Lola T-70 in our 68 Corvette. The camera mount apparently couldn't handle being race tight and broke early. This session we ran a 2:15.6. and won.

750 Horsepower all aluminum big block with a T-101A transmission. The car weighs 2700 with no driver. We bought the car from a customer and just stiffened it up a bit, put our drivetrain in it and went to the Sebring. What a weekend.

Wow, a 2:15 and to think that in Sebring 76 Greenwood had the fastest lap with a 2:50 according to :

Is the track shorter now or has technology brought that much more speed? Impressive car and driver!!

The track is much different today. The Greenwood car would lap faster.
Greenwood lapped the old Daytona 3.84 mile course in the low 1.50's (as fast as 1:49 in the tube frame car) which I believe would equate to something like a 2:07 on the current Sebring 12 hour course.
Greenwood was also using 1970's tire technology and a M22 Muncie transmission that they had to be very conservative with. He did have similar HP from the FI big block, and superior downforce.
If the Jerico or Tex T101 4 speed had been invented and the rules allowed him to use a 9 inch NASCAR type GN Floater rear end, the IMSA record book would likely look much different.
