I used to believe all that stuff about all the wings and aerodynamics
making such a difference... until I was at a Can Am race at Riverside
about 20 years ago and this crazy Italian ( I believe his name was Bruno
Giocomelli? sp? ) who was up in front through the whole thing crashed
about 2/3
Perhaps it's because the wings in those days were pretty
rudimentary...are you sure it wasn't longer than 20 years ago? CANAM was
wicked racing! Like the last time I was at Mosport without being on the
track. Open cockpit Ferrari 303( ? ) doing 200 mph up the back
straightSWEET! This was 7

Hi Mitch Jeff (and others),
Yep, I remember well those *great* race reports by Ireland and Walker in
RT - and I still have my collection going back to 65 or so. When Senna
died I believe they over-reacted and started making lots of changes so they
looked like they were doing *something*,
