If you are not familiar with Gunnar Racing, you can easily kill a couple hours poking around their past projects.

Thanks for sharing -

Many years back at some track day with Porsche, was quite a treat and honored to be driving while the legendary Mr. Elford was in the passenger seat and coaching a few tips. Most gracious, patient, humble and witty fellow.

What kind of schmuck 1-star reviews Vic Elford, Brian Redmond and the 917?

It is time to do away with this asinine thread rating system.
