Beautiful race. And probably my favorite track next Laguna Seca. Thank you for the ride. It was totally enjoyable, even the couple spots when it got loose. Perfectly handled, and clean.
As a slot car kid of the 60s Cox Cheetahs and Chaparrals were some of my favorites, but never got to see any real Cheetahs in a race. Hard to imagine that there were two in this one. Must have been different gearing. Sounds like it has the torque of a train. Fun video!
Excellent drive! My step father raced his own Chevy special roadster in the 60’s in Cal Club. He raced against a Cheetah Coupe in 1968 at the Stardust GP Can Am weekend in Las Vegas. The Saturday Amateur race, not the pro race. That’s the weekend Jim Hall went upside down in his his Chaparral. I really enjoyed your video and congratulations to your whole team for a really great presentation. What a ride!
Lovely car well driven... A symphony of mechanical sounds in harmony.. Love the aerodynamic of the cars in those days... 'lets just make a hole in the air and let the tyres deal with grip - whats downforce?' Unlike today where its nearly opposite..
took a few for those tires to come in but when they did,wow! except for that vette for a brief second it seems the only thing that can catch a cheetah, was another one! and the only reason the vette did was a slightly hairy corner, nice save by the way! a roller skate with a small block Chevy in it is the way I believe Bill described her originally, lol, no doubt! sitting on the differential reminds me of a 7-8 second 1/4 mile rail dragster racer a buddy had back in the 1980s. nice victory! and thanks for taking us along, great luck in future endeavors! ☆☆☆
Excellent drive! Would love to see an onscreen readout of the telemetry going on. Speed, braking, etc. Probably doesn't even matter in a race. Are you winning? No? Go faster! Are you winning now? Yes! Go even faster!
My first trip to RA was 1958. Remember seeing this and many other beasts back in the day. Good times. This post was in 2023 for future reference.

I remember the first one on car craft or hot rod was orange...so cool at the time and still is
Had just installed that trans right before the race. The shifter felt a bit different and took a lap to get used to.
That was a great watch. Thanks for the ride...........
in a word,,, AWESOME!
My son took me toRA a cuuple months ago for a weekend, he owns a 2019 ZL1 1 LE ,and i must say it was a blast , it is a very capable track car.
What a beast of a car!
