Ray Evernham's Massive IROC Racecar Collection is Even BIGGER! (Barn Finds & Test Drive)
What happens here
Ray introduces the IROC Firebird, which came out in 1996, highlighting its more aerodynamic design and front-steer chassis (a departure from the rear-steer chassis of previous models). He explains that these cars were built by Mike Laughlin and were designed to race on radial tires, similar to NASCAR Busch Grand National (now Xfinity) cars of the time. He points out the specialized aerodynamics, including bolt-on/off pieces for different tracks (Michigan, Talladega, road courses). He mentions that Helio Castroneves drove this particular car.
Goal: Showcase the IROC Firebird and its advanced aerodynamic features
