What a cool race that would have been to go to. LMC always makes some pretty nice cars. Good show IMO.

Thanks for the heads up on that one.

that car cornered flat as a pancake. I bet they had some serious springs in it.

Too bad they didn't get into that.

It was interesting how some of the other C3's got real wiggly in the turns but the LMC car was rock solid. As much as they poo-pood the suspension it sure seemed to work well in the end.

As for the blown oil coolers it looked to me like they were running too much pressure. You could see the thing idling at 70 PSI. I'd guess over 100 psi at revs. No wonder the cooler blew.

Very cool cars, though. I need to see if there are any vintage races close to Dallas.

They built a race car and didn't bother to mention what the springs or swaybar were? Come on guys...
