That *#33 Skoal Bandit Oldsmobile* is legend as is the man behind the wheel, Mr. September 🙌 Who else votes Harry Gant for the NASCAR Hall of Fame?

I'll never forget as long as I live watching with my jaw on the floor at 8 yrs old as Harry Gant charged back through the whole field at Martinsville with no right front bodywork left. He was already one of my favorite drivers, but that stretch of four races in 1991 was absolutely a BLAST to watch and enjoy with my dad.

Not only did Harry win those four Cup races, but he also won three Busch Grand National races in the old #7 car during that same stretch.

Awesome to see this! I hate to sound like an old hat by saying “those were the good old days”, but man, they were! Awesome drivers, mechanics & builders that could tweak the rule book in ways that you’d never imagine to get an advantage. Such a much better time in the sport!

I remember those races. Each week I had to watch to see if Harry could repeat. Then on Monday here how Harry would be roofing houses. Great days of Nascar.

You guys were testing that car in January 1991. I was laying on the fence at Turn 4 as Harry was coming around the turn right up against the wall. That was the most intense feeling ever. A car going by 10 ft in front of you at 200 mph!

We snuck under the stands at Pocono after we snuck in the race and were right up against the wall and Davey Allison had a broken header in the 28 car. We were about 10 feet from the cars going by and loud ! 1991 or 92 July race.

They run full floater axles with bolt on splined drive hubs so they machine the axle splines to allow some "tilt" at the drive hubs which allows a small amount of camber to allow for better turning in the corners

All these years I was giving Barry Dodson credit for the cambered rear end. This a great video of a piece of NASCAR history. I’m proud to say I am a fan of those days.

When Bill Elliott opened 1992 with 4 wins - Junior Johnson had also figured out cambered/trick rear ends. Of course teams eventually catch up - and NASCAR typically eliminates advantages via the rule book.

I was at North Wilkesboro and John Boy and Billy were Grand marshals and said " Gentleman and Jimmy Spencer start your engines" Mark Martin hit the water barrels and brought out the Red Flag and Harry Gant went on to win his 4th race in a row that day....If memory serves me correct. That was an awesome race!

He won his 4th in a row at Martinsville. He was leading late at North Wilkesboro when his brakes began to fail. Dale Sr passed him late, and Harry finished 2nd.

Always wondered how they put camber in the rear of a car with a solid axle. Like by definition how can a solid axle have a bend in it and not be all wobbly

it was a two-piece floating axle shaft the hub end had rounded over splines and the cap was machined to fit it

The reason they needed a edge was as close as the teams had the cars. A little bit would be a secret for a little while before it gets out.
