Rick Titus told me how it happened. It was during practice. He kept bumping the hay bales at the exit of the turn to make it wider. He didn't know there was an immovable post behind the bales. They used a floorjack in the car and pretty much got it back to the right shape
I always liked the Trans Am coupes.

Quote from: kranky on March 29, 2025, 11:05:00 AMthe front extensions that hug the front windshield don't look like they are there in the October 1965 grainy photo...cages didn't start to be the norm until 1967 and on at least in SCCA.

It was one of those things where there was no rule against a cage - but who'd add weight? In the 67 GCRs a cage becomes "recommended". SA didn't use a cage in 67.
Splat!  That must've been spectacular to see.  Looks like he went under an 18 wheeler.

LA Woman have fit much better. Agreed.  But it looks like he is driving into Chicago actually based on the Hancock Tower...

This came up on my Instagram feed and I considered it worthy of passing on. Shows some evidence that the younger generations have interest in the old stuff because I doubt anyone over the age of say 35 would have made this cartoon

Shows how little control we have over life.  What a disappointing and unexpected scenario.

Quote from: FL SAAC on March 04, 2025, 07:19:54 PMWe also went to lunch and had sushi

But I guess someone dont like sushi and
had a immune system over reaction, developed hives, swelling, and breathing problems.

 Then blew my post away
Sushi itself is cold rice. Nothing more nothing less. Raw fish is the typical garnishment or shell fish. Lots of parasites to contend with when one goes down that road regrettably. Sushi alone should not cause said reaction.

Will be a surplus of Jack Daniels for it should the car so desire. Nice photo of the Hertz in its natural habitat (out of the garage).

Lots of long term owners on this thread. Impressive.

Kinda crappy picture but I think it's the Hertz sticker stuck on the "referenced cap"

You thoughts amigo?
Can't really tell.  Likely a sticker though.  Lifted the pic from the video.  Tech problems.

Referenced as a "cult item" at 7:26 in.  Maybe Tony's on to something.

The referenced cap.

The Hertz logo on the Torque Thrust caps is a nice touch.  Thank you for posting this video.  Imagine how many fewer 66 G.T. 350s there might have been had the Hertz deal not gone through.
