Did the teams just fabricate some sheet metal to cover the outside of the gas tanks for protection?
Did Nascar have any rules for the tank protection? |

Quite a pic. It's hard to see how those aft shocks could have much effect.
Also the rear end cooler air is being ducted away from the axle. First time I've seen that. _________________ SUMUS QUOD SUMUS |

I think that was a road course setup for leaf springs. It reduced axle windup on braking and acceleration. |

Too late now. That's the setup I have for the 64 Mercury. That shouldn't relay be a problem since I am during a replica of the restored car that they occasionally race. |
