I was there.

Jim Van Dorn was not. In fact, Jim did not get into the ZR1 hobby until year or so later.

The car was stock. In fact, it weighed significantly more than stock due to the cage, the fuel cell, telemetry, radios and the spare parts it carried.

The engine was as discussed earlier, a stock LT5, built by the LT5 Gang in Stillwater and held from shipping to BG because of a minor QC problem.

It was used in the Record Run car as-is with stock manifolds no cats and open exhaust. The calibration was changed to optimize engine performance in that configuration. The engine was throttle-stopped except for a few laps at the very end which Stu Hayner ran at WOT in fifth.

The car had a 3.07 axle, no rear stabilizer bar and no sideview mirrors.

The tires were special race tires Goodyear built for the Run.

It is unlikely another production car would ever set the 24. The cost would be astronomical. Finding a venue would be difficult. It would be unlikely a production car would be able to exceed the VW prototype's 24-hr. speed to set a record.
