60's Musclecar Era - Lightweights and Experimentals

[Steve Shauger]

This is a great article that summarizes the scope of purpose-built factory race cars the big three built to win, from factory lightweights to experimental classes. Although this continues today, it's nothing like what was produce in the 60's with virtually no regulation. It was like the wild west with no holds barred. Today's technology can't be beat but what was achieved in the 60's without high tech computing is remarkable and was possible due the brilliant minds/engineering teams who designed them.
