Thats a great shot, Probably one of the clearest photos I've seen of a Falcon racing back then. The cars were very developed by 1967/8 the rear guards were flared in order to get the wider rims on and off, I believe they ran 8 inch rims for group5 the front guards were radiused and flared so the wider front tyres would clear, and that's as low as the front of a Falcon could go. The race weight was circa 1150 kg depending on how much fuel the 104 ltr tank had in it.Originally Posted by Chaswin
Heavy Metal. Saloon car racing was interesting at Oulton Park in the late 1960's. Hill and Clark in Lotus Cortina's running up against big V8 engined US saloons. Is this a Galaxy?
