Greenwood always ran the high line on Daytona banks, what is still called the Petty line. The car would have a slight set with the tail out just a bit, and just be thundering along. Probably ran the high line so he didn't flat run over everything else out there on the back straight and banking. The other cars almost looked like they were drifting down to hide.
Having seen 917's, 512's and GT40's, and all the different variations of sports cars since, the 74,75,76 Greenwood vettes were the most impressive on the run around the banking. Speed and the thunder sound.
This is what gets people to reach into their pockets and pay admission.
