Talked with strange last fall ,as he looked over my car at Mid Ohio,Jones had that car flying when he drove it .I was behind velcio couple weekends ago,mid Ohio when I had a coolant hose failure,which turned into a safe spin. I know your car well and long time.remember when Jones striped it out.

Oddjob

Do you have any contact info for Strange or bump into him periodically? Would like to touch base with him on the history of this car with BFG.

A few pics out of log books that came with the car:

Hey Jim, interesting that car is shown with different wheels, so I guess there wasn't a standard issue "legal" wheel..?

In the last photo, there must be 2-3" of tire to fender clearance even with the car still in left side load state where the camber would be reduced.

The first two pics (from early 90's) are probably about 10 years older than the 2nd two. I don't know what wheels were used on the car when it was raced a few times in the SCCA World Challenge and IMSA Super Car Series '93-94.

I have that set of BBS E50's, they are 9 and 10" wide. I use 1/4" - 3/8" spacers on the rear, otherwise they rub on the inside with 275s.

Bob was at a mid Ohio randomly. You might find him .yes busy doing racing consulting.probably can find him.
