I know about green race cars whats with the peanuts.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Peanuts in the pits at Indy is def bad bad news. Dennis that goes back a ways with the Indy 500. Bad things were said to happen to teams/drivers if peanuts showed up in their pit. Superstition that was based on circumstances but some still hold to them. Was kind of like having a Vette funny car back in the day.

GROUND CLEARANCE
Minimum 3 inches from front of car to 12 inches behind centerline
of front axle; 2 inches for remainder of car, except oil pan and
exhaust headers. See General Regulations 4:5.

Does this mean in tech only or through the duration of the event?

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Wow! Charley Downing's CJ is beautiful!
