The poor folks next to us failed tech and spent the next 24 hours trying to pass. By the time their car passed tech it was 4pm on Saturday. They were 7 hours behind the rest of the field... not that they finished even close to last. They had a banner day on Sunday.
Lets take a closer look at that car. I love the old, faded pain job and all the chrome. Pretty damn bad ass. What is it you ask? Well it was a 50s Renault they said.. but "was" is the key word in that sentence. Look inside...
That is the engine about where the back seat ought to be. You can also see that they welded on a little extra metal to make their wheel wells wider. Check out the picture below and you can also see that they moved the steering wheel and seat to the middle of the car. I am impressed... though I would have been more impressed if they had passed tech before the racing started.
