Know where that car is now?Robert Robert No idea if the "wide tire" Daytona is around anymore. It was Chrysler's car so my guess is that they either crushed it or its hidden in a Michigan warehouse.

shelbymotorsports Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ok I'm a little late on these. Tim as promised I took two quick and dirty snapshots of the two Thrifty pics hanging in my office. These were originally from the Whittier office. Let me know if these pics are out there already. If not I'll remove them from the frames and have them scanned by the local Photography shop. Sorry about the pic quality but fluorescent office lighting and glass covered pics don't get along.

Ok will add that task to the things to do list. They are mounted on 1/4" foamboard so Kinkos can't scan them but luckily I found a photography shop that has a large flat bed scanner.

shelbymotorsports Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Is that black car in the back an Omni or is it a GTI? I enlarged the original and all I can say is that its not an Omni. Also its hard to tell but are those brake cooling ducts bolted to the CSX-t's airdam?

Also its hard to tell but are those brake cooling ducts bolted to the CSX-t's airdam? Steve Steve, Yes those are cooling ducts.... From the stories I've been told, the reason for them involved over heated brakes. When the season began two cars were built to compete in the class (29.95 and 34.95). Those cars were running stock CSX-T wheels and the stock brakes in the front. Within the first 2-3 races both cars were wrecked due to brake failures. One of them went end over end but luckily the driver walked away without a scratch. A common practice was to drag the brakes to keep the boost up and basically the calipers blew out. (Melted) Two replacement cars were quickly built from body in whites. Imsa decided after the second failure that they would allow them to run larger brakes on the front. They installed Alcon 4 piston calipers and to improve the cooling even further they switch to Jongbloeds wheels. These wheels were not only lighter but forced more air into the brakes. I’ve seen two different versions run on the car but both of them are way more open than the stock T wheel. Thanks again for the pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
