MIS NASCAR pictures - Part 1

I could not believe it. I filled up my hard drive. It is huge but I managed to fill it up. That and I had to take away the blue tint so ... at last, a few pictures from NASCAR. Lets start out with a '57 Chevy I believe. I had to take a picture of this car as I really love it. That and I was born the same year. Why is it the car is a classic, I am just an old fart?


Now these two I just had to take. They went together well. They were on one of the many trailers containing merchandise that you just needed to have.


One for G-man, Lime, LittleWing, MilkMaid and who ever else I may have missed. It looked more impressive in person.


This one was for me ... or was that Tony ... maybe G-man too. Hummmm! Just racing merchandise, honest!


And here is about the best picture I took of the really drunk guy. I am afraid I had the camera set real wrong so I had a hard time fixing it. Something about shooting in bright sunlight at ASA 1600. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Notice the beer keg on the head, the big beads, and the beer can in the right hand (it is hard to see). You can not tell how wasted he is in this picture but believe me, he was.


OK, I had to toss this in. It over looks the area outside the gates into the actual race. So why did I include it??? If you look on the right hand side, just above half way up, you see something green/blue. Those would be the porta-pits. I did not take a picture of them on purpose, it just happened to show up when I looked at what I had.



Here is part of the lineup. It shows what the trucks look like, the pit crews lined up, and part of the Michigan International Speedway (the place where the race was held) sign.


Here is the B 17 bomber. If you look at it, the propellers are not moving. How do you think the plane stayed up? Also, if you look close enough, the bomber doors are open.



Later I will pick up where I left off.
