A good deal of very cool vintage stuff..

I like the BMW with the front wheel lifted.. and the 917s.

Kinda makes you wonder where all those old race cars went to die. Would be awesome to have one to play with.

Id guess a few made it to museums or collections. But most were smashed at some point. Unless the driver owned the car it was just hardware.

But if I recall back in the 60s alot of drivers did own the cars.. so who knows..

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
