yup that was a long tail 917 if I remember correctly. The tail helped with big end stability and traction. I saw one of the two left 917-30s last year at Laguna Seca as well as the famous #23 red and white car. Simply amazing to see them in person. That flat 12 is something, but the -30 has the huge turbo on top of it. We're taling over 1000 hp and a little over 2400 lbs. wet. Nuts! It's rumored to be the car that ruined CAN-AM racing.
