Interesting things that caught my eye at Speedfest in the pits and car show

the above is an Alpine Tiger... it had a Shelby 289 shoehorned into a tiny english car... sounds familiar huh?

the above seems to be a method of cooling the intake charge... must work, it's this 1917 Chevrolet race car

This is one of the few real racing Gt40s

Comparison of rear air dams

 This is Tailgating!

Action sequence an axle shaft breaking during racing around a corner

When turning around this corner the drivers side axle snapped, the tire locked up, and the #18 slid to a stop just out of the path of the racecars that were following

The crash and rescue team didn't know what the problem was, and thought they could push it off the course a bit further... not gonna happen with a locked up tire
