I heard V16 917 never raced cus it twisted the birdcage into spaghetti
 
I was fortunate enough to have Brian Redman take me for some hot laps in a 917 (similar to pic) at Summit Point many years ago......memorialized on video (the ex-wifey had just purchased a Sony with the small cartridge).....and me laughing and holding on for dear life the entire time.



What a beautiful beautiful experience!
