He had 4 vettes including what I think was a '63 big block worth a lot. but he laughed when I mentioned the pace car he said it was so slow and had like 165 HP and wasnt worth the space it took up in his garage. Especially since Indy aint really Indy anymore. Met a guy with a ’78.

Lets buy one of these and store it for 20 years. An investment good-as-gold.......but gold is doing very well and Corvette value drops like a rock. Scratch that last thought.

Period. But IRL cars have zero redneck following just look at the sponsorships and they let a girl race. Prey for F1 and WRC (atleast on TV)to come here!
