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:

The Corvette's L88 engine was built by TRACO.

Originality / Re: Correct NOS Heater Control Assembly for 1968 Camaro Standard Model

« Last post by Sauron327 on May 27, 2024, 08:41:35 PM »

Hi folks -

Many thanks for the info on the heater control assembly for a 1968 base model Camaro with no a/c.  Also, appreciate that the part number appears to be GM 3925775 both both 67 and 68 Camaros.  However, I'm wondering what 3925775C means?  I've seen that mentioned.  Also, did the heater control assembly for 67 Camaros have a greenish tint to the faceplate with the 68 more of a whiteish tint?  Or maybe it was vice-versa? I do know from the Legends judging manual that the 67 heater control assemblies have smaller lettering than the 68 ones.  Finally, anyone have any ideas on where I might find a correct control assembly for a 68 Camaro? Cheers, gwp4 

I'll send you a PM and/or you can send one to me.

The first stamp is a little too big. I removed it with some paint thinner and will try the next ones.

The font is correct so they must have been using the pullman stamps.

It has always amazed me how stock cars and the Trans-Am cars too could race on banking that steep, like at Daytona.   This photo really shows that banking and how the forces must have been acting on the cars and drivers while on that steep banking.
