Ya, that's pretty accurate. I didn't follow rally-style racing until a few years ago. Pretty fun stuff to watch though. Yup yup

yeah kelly, i always loved watching IMSA, the lola's and nissans were def. kewl Very Happy

i was hoping to see people dig some of that stuff out. BTW, i just got a couple of large Audi R8 dealer posters, from the le mans wins Very Happy

i think those will look good above my fireplace.

Sweet posters, I still am stuck on the older closed-cockpit design though. Shrug

I completely ignored my favorite form of racing; CART. Much of my family hails from the Lehigh Valley in PA (Nazareth, mainly) where a certain other well-known racing family also lives. I've therefore always been a fan of the Andrettis, having met them several times when they've been in town over the years. They are still a very nice, grounded family despite their status, and despite making a living going 200mph. So, without further ado, here's a few shots I dug up:

Mario going around a corner at speed. You can almost reach out and touch it:

Michael mowing the grass in the Festival Curves at PIR during the '98 race. The crash was initiated by Paul Tracy, IIRC. I was sitting directly across from where these pics were taken, about 5 rows up. This was a fun race to watch. Smile

A few seconds later, Michael's teammate Christian Fittipaldi is giving a "what the hell was that" gesture to Tracy.

See anything wrong with Adrian Fernandez's Tecate car? Shocked

Here's Alex Zanardi celebrating his win by pulling some "brodies" Razz

on the front straight.

Here's Michael passing at the '99 race. I didn't make it to this one. Sad

Now the '97 race was fun. Nothing I enjoy more than a race at PIR in the rain. Very Happy

Here Michael contacts another car as they kick up spray, and Vasser goes off-roading:

Did I mention it was a wet day? The rooster tails were big on the straights:

At last year's race, Paul Tracy made a couple messes (I've noticed he is one of the most dangerous people to drive next to in all racing):

Here is Michael in 2000, leading the pack at my favorite track, Long Beach.

He didn't win though. He and teammate Christian Fittipaldi both retired with engine fires about 15 minutes apart. Shocked

Of course, the Andretti's have spent their time racing in Camaros, as seen here:

[homer]Mmmm, IROCs... :drool: [/homer]

I love this photo:

For the Lama, pretty Audis:

Last but not least, a couple shots of a Team Oreca Viper Cool

Nice Kelly!

I was at the '98 race as well - that was a blast. I believe that big pile up was on the green flag IIRC.

I will have to update my sig pic to include the white monster Wink
