Yes, that has been mentioned to Rog before. But there was a "mechanical" reason for the direction of the car....

Now, do you know why Roger's car is pointed in the direction it is for the HVWs cover shot? For those who attended OCIR, you will know that is is pointed backwards on the track (which is going right into the back fence). But why???

Is it cause of the direction the wind came from that day when you took the pic?

Yes, we have a winner! Otherwise, the orange smoke coverd the complete car and you couldn't see crap!

What's the difference on the caps aside from the color? They look like they fit "over" the wheel instead of inside. ?
Lee Leighton's car run these too?

Lee

you have aroused my interest..... how you can choose between them is beyond me please share are you a cal looker or a gasser man ?

For me, i couldnt choose between them they are two completely different styles, however, if both were for sale today and at the same price and i could only afford one, I would buys Daves car first, as i would be confident less people would chase for Rogers car as they either want to build there own race car or have a modern one, so hopefully it would still be for sale the next day then when I got paid for that day i would buy it (richie, youll get this)
