Someone steal the transmission? I don't see a gear shift. It's also apparent there is no emergency brake either, lol. Next best thing...throw a 2x4 under the tire.

Pretty sure it was there,  all of simeones cars run.. I'm taking my dad there in a week or so, I'll get more pics of the interior... Maybe I can get them to open the hood too.  Those guys are super nice, I got up and close to the gt-40's they let us past the barriers and into the exhibit area which was cool.

You can have that cookie cutter BS they call NASCAR nowadays. I liked it when you could tell the make of a car from half a mile away.  Alan Kulwicki and Davy Allison were my favorites.


My favorite drivers also were those same 2.
These are a couple pages on my web that I keep for them.

Dale Earnhardt, Mark Martin and Kevin Harvick also my favs. Though my watching NASCAR Racing days came to an end when Dale died though. I lost all interest in the TV broadcasting of races. Dale was NASCAR and without him the racing never gave me the interest it use to have.

I just read that the Museum is taking the car out twice next week to showcase it.

But I don't have any moving violations on my record. I promise to not beat on the rare Ferrari :)
