This statement is from the NASCAR "License to Drive" event criteria.

"Participants will drive their vehicles for two escorted laps at 55 mph, allowing all drivers to maintain enough speed to take on the 31-degree banking".

Hi folks -

Further to my earlier posts, I'm also interested in finding out the GM part number for a heater control lens for a 1968 Camaro with no a/c.  I hope I'll be able to track down an original one for the judges.  Many thanks.  gwp4

Hello

I’m a new member. I have a car to add to the database.
I own a 1968 Camaro vin 124378L347176
LeMans Blue
I believe it was an original SS model. The original dealership that sold the car was Grant Bishop in Los Gatos, California.

I really enjoy researching and learning from CRG.

Thanks, Clayton

VIN was final assembled on or about January 22, 1969. Car has an 09A X33D80 body tag; 1st week September 1969.

One or both tags are not original to the car, hidden VINs may not match.

When I toured Daytona Speedway a few years ago I went on a trip around the track in some type of tram thing. Guide stated that  a car has to maintain a speed of 70 mph to keep from sliding down the banking in the turns.
I doubt the guide's embellishment. That would mean a person would slide down if standing still. People walk that track all the time. A guy on Youtube did it in cowboy boots.

In 1966, Penske's Corvette won the GT class at the 24 hours of Daytona:
