Jeff,
That is the long tail.. I am not sure if the short and long tail are two seperate cars or one car with different tail sections.I saw the car on display in 200 or 2001 when I raced at Daytona .
I do know that the 917 will run the Mulsanne straight at 225-245 mph .. hour in and hour out for 24 hours ... unreal what some of those old race cars would do!

Hey Van....although the 'Hippie' 917 paint is radical it's nothing compared to the 917 'Pig'....what a paint job that one had! .
Have you ever had a chance to run Lemans w/ anything yet?

My 0171 car finished 2nd in class at Le Mans in 1976 so it was accepted for the Le Mans Classic this year but my engine builder has had some health problems and it just didn't come together. It is going to be a struggle to make Monterey in August so I am trying to get the Coca~Cola 935 accepted as an alternate so I do not miss the event this year.
The pig 917 was a unique looking ride!

Sounds great Van....good luck and safe rides wherever you run! . Youe sure are into the greatest stuff! .
The pig looks great....even better w/ age! . Where is it now....and that 98'ish Porsche GT piece in the pic w/ it looks good too! .
It'd sure be nice to see and smell some live GT action again....last I saw was 1990 in Montreal, the only year they ran there. . It was all good....Benz paid my way and the Sauber cars were unbelievable to see live! . The greatest for me however was meeting Keke Rosberg. . He's a great guy and was debuting the Peugeot 905 which was wicked 'til it expired....that thing sounded like it was reving like 20'000 for sure? . The race ended early when J. Pereja's 962 sucked a manhole cover off the track surface and burned....talk about ground effects! .

Have you been watching KEKE's son Nicko run in F1 this year?
He has done pretty well for a rookie.
