Kzoo Posted May 12, 2021 Share #13 Posted May 12, 2021 Back in 1979 when I first moved to Michigan there was a bar here owned by Jim Gilmore the sponsor for AJ Foyt. The bar had one of AJ's cars hanging by small strong wires suspended just above the bar. You could stand there and order a drink and reach up and spin the front tire on the #14 (if you were tall enough). @Digital_photog knows the Gilmore name from the Gilmore Car Museum. It looked just like this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR46 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted May 12, 2021 Not many people came out for the track day. Only 5 motorcycles on the small track. The big track is having a test and tune day. Just watched a guy put his Porsche into the wall in turn 8. All 4 wheels are pointed in different directions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked just like this... Several years ago I had Toyota Technical Center (TTC) as a client and they had a prototype F1 or maybe Indy car, not sure they all look the same to me. Anyway two guys were pushing it out of a truck and I offered to help as I was right there. Nah we got it, it’s super light without the engine. They let me push it a bit and it was surprisingly easy to push?!?!? I’m guessing without an engine those cars could be supported with just a few wires.
