I mean, I'm all for the current stuff but I can't help it, when I read IMSA I get all...

...and then it's just one thing...

...after another...

I think 70s and 80s doorslammers. Flares, stripes, and privateers.

When you say IMSA, I say "sucks".

In reply to Dusterbd13: That is exactly my thoughts as well. There was just something about those flares that I love.

Where I work there's a half dozen guys who built the Nissan NTPI cars back in the day.

Those late-80s to early 90s cars are, IMO, just beautiful. Wish I'd been able to attend races during this era.

Very first race I attended was the 1985 LA Times IMSA race at Riverside. Incredible.

This made be odd, But I think of the current Conti Sportscar Challenge series and the old Kelly American Challenge. They had some sweet looking Stock cars.

That right there is the pinnacle of all things glorious at the time ....four events four shutout victories the phrase BOP hadn't been created yet, but this demon german craft had been banned before half season....once in awhile I see it for sale here in the US occasionally on the high end dealer websites...if ever you see photos/writeup of this the fab/engineering rivals that of a 917.....
