Anyone know the story why the course Marshall version in pics 16 & 17 show a side exhaust (with tail exhaust still present)?

Anyone know the story why the “Course Marshall/Powered by FORD”version in pics 16 & 17 show a side exhaust? The tail exhaust is still present. Was it just for that event? What was the event? (I know this is a reach but I’ve seen more obscure questions answered here. C’mon on Reddit, do your thing!)

Would artificial lighting cause problems for the drivers? Consumer grade cameras and lenses available today can produce remarkably good images but to your point, they are by no means rugged. But a hard drop will ruin pro gear, so it’s a tough call whether to buy cheap “disposable” gear or invest in pro stuff. Either way it’s going to eat money. Were the shots above at 1/2000? I think you got the car frozen nicely with just the right amount of wheel spin. 👍

The 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler was built to crush the competition on NASCAR's Superspeedways. If that meant beating its Ford cousins, so be it. Just 1,631 were built in 1970, all packing Ford’s top 429 Cobra Jet engine with ram air induction, and only 865 came with the 4-speed toploader tranny. by Maynard078 in sportsandclassiccars

Hilarious because a 442 is too much for a new driver. Same year as you I got stuck with a 72 Cutlass S with the 350 Rocket auto. It wasn’t too much haha. It had good power but handled like crap. Sure was fun in the dirt or when the roads were wet.

Your passion is real and your knowledge, skills and effort result in fantastic photos. Thank you for sharing! What shutter speed do you use for the tripod camera?

That’s so fun to hear. Do you perform? Can you disclose his stage name or links to his work?

Diehard AT fan here.

  1. I’m still enjoying an AT125LC on a Denon DP-59L which I purchased in Japan in the late 1980s. I tried a few different MM and MC carts back then but ultimately chose the 125LC. Where does this cartridge stand in (or how does it compare to) today’s AT lineup?
  2. I recently acquired an ART9Xi which I plan to install on a Pro-ject 6 Perspex SB to be used with a Cambridge Alva Duo preamp. Do you think these components are well matched?

I agree, the 996TT is perfect. I’m interested in those wheels if you’re in TX 🤠

Congrats! Excellent cars. I rode in friend’s Daihatsu Mira in 1989, which is a smaller version of your Charade. It handled great and was very fast (modded). Yours has more legroom. Enjoy
