I've been watching on motor trend a bunch of old racing videos. Spurred I suppose by the Ford Ferrari movie. In the seventies the slick tires look just like my Hoosiers. Also watching hands inside the cockpit and nobody is using butterfly wheels. The ratio looks to be about the same as mine now too. I like to shuffle my hands on the wheel. Jim Clark and Emmo do it.
If its good enough for Emmo it is good enough for me.
