Any idea why all the Muscle Cars had those tacked on brake ducts?

That's a photo I wish I had been in position to take. I wasn't able to get many photos of the Group A/C cars. Whenever I went past the pits the Group A/C were in the pit garages (not the best location for photos) and my camera isn't the best for action shots (hence no shots of the racing).
Thank's for the photos Whiteballz .

Some of those Mussies may be what used to be called sport sedans in the early 70,s I think
from the Cams manual Gruop NC
Body
The bodywork, fittings and interior trim in its entirety must be as supplied by the manufacturer.
Body Modifications:
Body modifications may be made, provided that the following restrictions are observed:
The inner lip of the wheel opening may be folded back for tyre clearance.
Mudguard extensions may be used if homologated.
The driver's seat may be replaced with a CAMS-approved racing seat.
The steering wheel may be replaced with a sports steering wheel of 330mm minimum diameter.
Floor coverings may be removed.
The use of under trays, fairings etc designed to improve the aerodynamic form of the vehicle are not permitted unless supplied as standard equipment for the make and model.
If brake cooling ducts or scoops are fitted, they must be separated by a minimum of 300mm, so as not to form an aerodynamic aid and their sole function shall be to assist in the supply of air to the brakes.
Additional instruments may be added providing all original instruments and switches remain intact and that additional equipment is fitted to a separate panel.

Well before Group C i think it was something like Improved Production, before that it was something like modern day Group N where they raced homologated cars like the GTHO's, XU1's and Chargers. Theyre not all necessarily designated Group "X"

Jesus those things stick out like dog balls. Im surprised actually Ford Holden and Chrysler never incorporated them in their homologation specials. They gave them the huge fuel tanks and a few other endurance liberties afterall.

The Cortina GT500 production cars of 1965 do have them as stock fitment, albeit in a more subtle version. Positioned discretely underneath the front pan so mostly hidden from view and its hard to find decent pics
EDIT did find a photo for you FPV but it won't upload for some reason
Muscle cars was great may get back there this year to race the Exa i hope!
