Well, I had to pass on Carlisle as this is what I had for plans this weekend.
I got home from work Friday afternoon and saw I had a slip from the Post Office. So I went to the Post Office and picked up a large package. It barely fit in the green beast.


So we did a test fit first


Then began the install

Dad was getting ready to go on Vaca but took some time to help me with the install

It was getting late Friday afternoon so we had to hurry before it got dark

Then Saturday morning it was time to get her ready to go back to the track at 1pm for the Nascar officials to give it an approval

that looks sweet as hell. Is it open at the top to let air flow down?

Here are the publicity photos from Saturday that they just sent me
Enjoy



They had me park next to their pace car. I have to say I think my Indy looks a lot better. What do you think?

Man that's just awesome! Their pace car looks a little 'over-done,' though it does match the, um, 'budget pace van'

On a tangent note, I just finished my Indy Pace Car model

Steve,

Your Welcome.

I just got back from camping, first chance to reply.

It looks great. Now I guess I'm just going to have to buy your Indy from you to match the scoop

And to think that I was actually thinking the reverse

Steve,

Now you know why I bought it. I had been looking for one with the lights for a couple of years, and when Beachbomb put his up for sale I had to buy it.

I've been looking off and on for a Indy with a automatic to rebuild with not much success. I think the auto Indy must be the rarest car out there .

I'm in no hurry to get it back for a little while. If you want to use it at a few shows and all go for it.

Thanks man.
We will use this one then for a bit until we have finished making our own

It is now only 6 days away
Not that I'm counting the days or anything

That looks really good. Too bad you couldn't make Carlisle but I guess you had something more important to do. Did you get the strobe lights to work, that would make an awesome picture. Put some sort of tire dressing on also, because your tires look a bit too much grey. You want your car to look its best in front of all the race fans. Have a blast pacing them.

WOW, that is beautiful!! I'm really impressed with the people on this forum sharing like this. Big plus to FieroGT87. I can't wait to see some pics of her on the track.

There is a guy in Sacramento, CA, that has a really nice auto he was selling. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll put you in touch with him.

Joe I'm interested. I'm looking for one to rebuild because I'll probably tear it down to the frame like my GT.

Steve how are the strobe lights coming along?

Earl R.

Steve, I'd recommend putting some high-gloss tire shine on your Indy before the actual event, makes a HUGE difference at night with the lights!!!

When the event does happen please have some pictures and video. Id like to see your Pace car running with the lights flashing.

Im glad you got the scoop. What did the track people think of it?

They thought the scoop was pretty cool.
I just hope it works OK on race night.
We have bad news though as it is supposed to rain all weekend

Steve,

Think of it this way, if it rains the more time on the track you'll have with the strobe light going

Earl R.

Thanks to our friends at our local Autozone, here is what we are going to use to run the lights on the scoop with:

No having to run wires thru the firewall and have wires dangling inside the car or anything.
Now, if it can just be nice weather for Saturday night. Remember, if it rains it will do one of two things, cancel it all together or just make the photo oportunity suck big time.

That won't interfere with the radio signals, will it? You will be in radio contact with race officials, right?

Hmmmm, I hadn't thought about that.
Though it will only send a signal for a second when I push the bottons I guess.
Oh well, too late to think about that now

Let us all pause now as we pray to the sun god and hope for nice weather on Saturday

Now you know why I don't need to dress these tires up
