Cool Old Race Car Photos.....
I found something that I thought you guys might like to see.
These links are of old corvette race cars and just wanted to post them up so others could enjoy them also. Now there are all generations of vettes in here so there should be something for everyone.
Hope everyone enjoys them

Burning Brakes
I remember seeing the John Greenwood Corvette at the 24 hours of Daytona back in the 70's. He never got it to run 24 hrs as I recall but when it did it was a hoot to watch.
One year they interviewed him before the race and he said his strategy was to not get more than 10 laps down for the first 12 hours then turn up the heat and bring it to the lead. He came out of the box and blew everything on track away for about 10 laps before it blew a radiator hose off. It repeated that scenario a few times and by the 6th hour it was out. During the first 10 laps it was the only car I have ever seen drift the tail out all the way around the high bank. The sights and sounds of that car will never be forgotten.
