- Scale Model of Indy Car Side Pod Tunnel Used for Airflow Testing, 1981 - Bobby Unser tested scale model body parts, like this one, to design a better race car. He used a flow bench -- typically used to analyze engine parts -- to determine which design would most effectively push a car closer to the racing surface. This downward force provides greater traction for higher cornering speed. Unser's innovative approach allowed for more development while reducing the amount of full-scale wind tunnel and track testing.

- Press Release, "Special Rig Shortens Pit Stops," 1969 - In 1969, Team Penske and Sunoco built a special rig to speed refueling. The 19-foot tower held barrels containing fuel, dry ice and acetone. Cooling the fuel contracted it, allowing the team to fit 23 gallons into a 22-gallon car tank. Over a long race, that extra fuel could eliminate a pit stop. Trans-Am officials ultimately outlawed the tall rig.
