Great pictures!

Are green race cars and peanuts in the pit's still bad luck?

Be safe this weekend!

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.

I think it was Joan Grotheer that told me that anyone that was around any of the Sox & Martin cars with peanuts would get run off by Ronnie in a hurry!

Great shots, its like you went to a car show and a race broke out.
