They bring the old cars out of the museum and run them as fast as their tires will allow. It’s a strange mix of sounds...racing engines spanning over a century of development. But hearing that is, by itself, worth the price of admission. Edited August 18, 2018 by Airmotive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any video of that or do I need to make the trek there some day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goodyear vs Firestone Tires. Dave. When the only computer in the car was between the driver's ears and the three pedals on the floor were the traction control.

Goodyear or Firestone? What did you buy when you needed tires after the race?? Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I wasn't sure so I walked out to my garage. Goodyear seems to be the theme. All I know is that the Gulf livery adds 20 horsepower. It's a scientific fact.
