Re: Old Time Racing(ish)

I beg to differ; ducktails, while not wings, did exist. There were also front splitters.

Here is my 1965 entry. I think I meet all of the requirements. Not the fastest, but still not bad?

Re: Old Time Racing(ish)

Sorry to rain on your parade here but, the times on Automation's test tracks are only measured in seconds. Not minutes and seconds, so the time actually is 2:35.66 :(

Re: Old Time Racing(ish)

Why don't you just update the leaderboard as and when people submit their entries? It will get people hyped up, and it will motivate them to one-up their competitors! ;)
