Great shots, thanks for posting them.


I love this 65, BUT, what's with the mudflaps? I bet that car hasn't seen rain or dirt roads EVER. They detract from the car IMHO. Perhaps to keep the rubber gumballs on the track off the body???

The 'mudflaps' help keep the rocks kicked up by the tires from blasting the pretty paint.

I look forward to seeing pictures of the race cars which gathered for this year's event.
I'm looking for inspriation for my C3 Wide Body project.

This car is an example of the amazing work done by Performance Restorations. It's more of a show car than a track car. It's as nice on the bottom as on top. To his credit, Brent takes it out and wails on it. 800HP, u can hear it coming a long way off. Here's a shot of the car he campaigns on track most.

800hp from 427 inches? (I don`t think so) but how come he isn`t faster?

My post was confusing. "This car" refers to the red vette, it's the one that's more "show car", it has 800HP. The blue one is the one he goes vintage racing in. bobby
