Do you know what the purses were at the time? I punched numbers into an inflation calculator (yeah; I'm a dweeb). The RR wasn't too far off ($80 in 1979=$234 in 2008, although that obviously doesn't take into account the tire's longevity). The engine cost definitely isn't close though ($5000 in 1979=$14,643, again, not taking into account legitivity). Do you have any purse numbers from back then, or any insight as to how many races a RR lasted in '79 vs. today, and how long engines were lasting in 1979 vs. today?
