Here is a vid of a great car in a great setting. I was at the briefly mentioned PPHC won by Michele Mouton in 1985.

Bobby Unser was reputedly quite vocal about his loss, to which Mouton is said to have replied: "If you have the balls you can try to race me back down as well."

Sitting in that position to drive would make me crazy. He's doing it with a coat on. That would be like driving in a straight jacket.

I got as far as 0:07. You have anything more exciting like a Fiat pop driving through Nebraska?

Car forum? Corvette forum? I hardly think so at this time. This place has evolved into a gossip, BS, cliquish, pretty much what is on anyone's mind forum.
Not saying that's a bad thing, maybe a forum name change could be in order.....

I remember as a kid going to the 1969 Tokyo auto show where the Datsun Fairlady 240Z was introduced. I was smitten with her. It was probably this event. But I also remember one in bronze/brown with the black wheel covers.
