My former 84 300TD, wish I still had it.
my old 84'
1984 CRX DX - my first Honda and in the garage before Christmas of '83............
I missed 79....
& I'm to early for 85...
I don't think I'll wait for 86 either...
It's berkeleying destiny. I made it back just in time.

I do wonder from time to time what Geoff & Kaz would have done if IMSA had let the 962 guys uncork a lil' bit. I know my guys (Jaguar) couldn't do anything to catch Electromotive..

Chip Robinson's 84. I think that's the NPT 90 and not the ZXT, though.
Mulsanne's Corner has a pretty good article (with more pixtures) on the accident.

Kastner estimated there was about 7000lb of downforce when the tire failures occured.

No, that's Chip's in Atlanta in `92 (the year both Nissans exploded tires). Bob went off in the Esses. There's still some debate about whether Bob might have lived, had there not been the concrete walls added down there. When I was there for the Mitty a few weeks back, I noticed that there have been some tire walls restored in a few places.

Nice that they put the beer coolers right next to the can like that...
The hats were directly in front of the coolers as well.
