Mine too. I get really excited when I’m flagging at a vintage event and we get Can-Am and USRRC cars.

And I’ve seen what can happen when an engine blows in one of those cars. I was at the Monterey Historics in 2009 when we had one (and I think the car in question was a McLaren) blow its engine as it passed T7. It left a stripe of oil a foot wide from T7 all the way to where it came to rest in the paddock! Apparently a dry-sumped Chevy big-block holds a LOT of oil.
