Lowering your car the hard way!

In 1969 Ford wanted to lower its Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II race cars so they would corner better and have less aerodynamic drag. However, NASCAR had strict rules about how low the car could be. The officials measured from the bottom of the rocker panel to the race track surface. The light bulb over some Ford engineer’s head came on and he had a better idea. These cars had their rocker panels reduced in height so the race car could be set closer to the ground.
