Ah ah ah – good one
Martin.
Yeah – the RSR we crewed
on was
owned by Daddy Big Bucks. One thing good I
can about him racing is that
he didn’t use his funds to buy a small private
plane and take up
piloting. That bozo’s luck would have had him
auguring into a
crowded primary school during an assembly.
D. B. B. insisted on the
use of the pretty
and cheap (compared to smacking up a factory
set of Fuch’s RSR wheels)
BBS wheels. You know the three piece wheels
with two big O rings and 6
gazillion 5mm Allen screws and nuts? Mess up
one of those O rings and
there is a new resealing party starting in 10
minutes and ya better show up at
the track with 5 sets of Allen’s as they
seemed to strip out too
easy. Maybe we just got cheap screws?
Ahhhhhh – there was a
time - - -
Heh heh, not no more.

Re: [Ferrari] Tires from
Costco
Go back another 10
years
and move the venue to the Northeast tracks.
We were running tube-type
race tires tubeless to save the weigh and
coating the magnesium race wheels
with urethane paint to prevent air loss.

Picture
this – 1977, Laguna Seca Raceway, the
spring 4 four hour enduro will be starting
in an hour. Race wheels with
new race tires waiting to mounted on the
Porsche RSR are beside the car the car
facing up while we do last minute checks on
brakes and suspension. There
is a very light mist falling and the tires
are getting wet. I look over
at the tires and our new GO-GO-Goodyear’s
are making white walls.
What the hell - - - - ? Ayep, billions and
billions and billions of
little white bubbles foaming trough the ever
thin sidewalls. My my.
I
notice George Follmer’s and Jim Busby’s
tires, next to us, weren’t fizzing. My my
again. At that
time, N2 fills were still a Penske-isk
Unfair Advantage.

PS –
One more spoof the public question:
When paying a bill using cash, ask them if
they take Federal Reserve
Notes. Ya know, not even our post office
will. Alas.
