Thanks Jon, it's been many years since I last read that article. I remember reading Peske experimented with bending the rear axle housings to increase camber. It wore out bearings but worth the effort. NASCAR does this now too. Peske also experimented with a Corvette suspension under the Camaro.

I love that photo on the cover - Parnelli taking "shortcuts".

OK, this is not really a Camaro article but an article on the Penske race shop at the time when they were running
the Camaro, as well as their other racing efforts. Many thanks to Mike K (Swede70) for sharing this with us.
