Looks like he tried to sell the whole setup on a bunch of VW forums a year ago. The adapters are two-piece ones from these guys: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_adapters.htm...
So I guess he has 5 lug bolts, 6 allen screws, and then 6 lug nuts per wheel.

Any chance that LeMons team was The Tools? Ununhexium Legends!

There's actually a second thing Grand-Am will have in common with NASCAR this year, right below where you typed that. That #15 Rick Ware Mustang will be driven by Jeffrey Earnhardt this year. People here have probably heard of his grandpa and his uncle...
Also, that privateer Audi team is pretty new. This was their first race, just 6 months ago...

Dallas Smith does a front-drive low-floor conversion of the Ford Super Duty.

NASCAR's ISC tracks don't own tow vehicles, they have a contract with Miller Industries.

That's a bullet-time camera array. Y'know, like from The Matrix.

I like what they've done with the new one. So many squares!

"drivable regardless of what the interior looks like."
Yes, but it takes a special technique.

I saw "200T" and wondered how a W123 with less displacement and more weight would even make it up the hill in the first pic... Then, I click the link and see it's a gasser with the fivespeed manual! So jealous.

There's some interesting aerodynamic developments going on there. That wing near the back of the hood must generate ounces of downforce! Wonder if that top duct in the fender functions like a vent window.
