From CC member csx2300:
"Here's a liitle background on CSX2494, which is being restored."
CSX2494
USRRC team car, also ran FIA.
Driven by Bob Johnson, John Morton, Skip Scott, Ken Miles, Tom Payne and Ronnie Bucknum.
It has been with the same owner for 35 years.
The current plan is to restore to USRRC livery, as driven by Miles at Watkins Glen.
The goal is a touring car, blessed in racing history with a dozen wins.
Looking at the photos, please notice the following details:
Side pipes, front brake ducts, filler cap, FIA rollbar, racing bucket, hood scoop's leading edge, wipers, '97' fonts, goodyears, headlight screens.
Notice the driver's lack of driving gloves, wearing a watch and the looseness of the belts.
Who is in 98 and 62? how did they finish?
Does the windshield tilt back?
Questions exist about the quickjacks, the wheels, the FIA tank/trunk, the decals.
Target for completion is December '04
Here's a Question -
For a restoration,
WHAT EVENT/LIVERY WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
( I am sure csx2300 will check in and provide more info.....ron)
