Re: Question about the new GC driveshaft placement

Actually the reason there aren't any offset sprinters may very well be because of the Dowker Jetrod - it was so dominant in its time that it was banned - everyone would have had to replace their existing cars to match it.

However, since the USAC GC is a unique new series, there wouldn't be any cars made obsolete. I figured a lower offset roadster-style might have been better and offer more stability at higher speeds. So why did they go with the higher "driver over the driveshaft" arrangement? Tradition?


(Would anyone here have liked to have seen this new USAC GC car with a lower offset arrangment?)
