Jim Grossi’s Corvette FGT/B wheelie bars set-up
I find very instructive the portion of Bobby Fazio reportage regarding the 69 Corvette of Jim Grossi. We can see the wheelie bars set-up by his own conception.
From what I see, it’s a great idea producing a positive impact on traction, body roll, housing rotation and shocks control. I can see the impact on Pro stock and Pro mod “preparing time before each run”. His concept is innovative and definitively deserves more attention. |

New 427. Car is a beast. Check out Bobby Fazio`s latest Driver Interview. He does a spot with Jim and his car, including him making a pass.
https://classracer.com/classforum/sh...=81629&page=19 Interview begins about 10:40. Last edited by Mike Jones; 11-28-2023 at 06:52 AM. |

Good timing, I just finished editing Jim Grossi's feature interview and posting it as we speak.

The rear end and 4 link were originally built by Gary Jennings, looks like the wheely bars are new though. Car looks fantastic now. Good job Jim.
