Racing Pictures 0-1000 Version 3

rubaru · Feb 20, 2022

RULES:

Post photos only (not links to other site) of a race car, truck, etc. (No Motorcycles please!!) that have a race number or badge clearly visible on the image. It's OK if the number has a letter in it somewhere. That often just denotes what class of racing the car is running, or if it's a meet and people have the same number.
You can't post twice in a row.
The image must be of an actual car and not an animation from a game or elsewhere, nor can the number be "Photoshopped" onto an image of a car with a different number.
Your picture must be the next number in sequence from the previous picture. If someone posts Car #100, your picture must be Car #101.
Please review the previous versions of this game. We'd like to see new pictures, not just re-using what was already posted. If you are having such a difficult time, you may use the same car again but a different picture of it.

It would also be great if you could post some information about the car and perhaps the driver and location the photo was taken.

I will post the first picture:

Trivia: Chrome wheels are mounted. WHY? Chrome rims would later be banned because wheel weights would sometimes fail to adhere.

Why there is no number 13 in Formula 1

The FIA Formula 1 World Championship entry list does not have a number 13. The number is generally considered to be an unlucky number. It was used in the early years of the sport but in the 1920s i…

Just an aside...that article was written in 2009. Pastor Maldonado used #13 in 2014/15. Not much good it did him, but I highly doubt the number had anything to do with it.

Moving on...

Car #15 Motorcraft Ford Thunderbird ca. 1992
Driver: Geoff Bodine
Sanction & Series: NASCAR Winston Cup
Track: Darlington aka "The Lady in Black"
Event: 1992 TransSouth 500
Photographer: Yours truly!

I took my younger brother with me to Darlington in 1992 because Richard Petty is his favorite racer and it was his farewell tour. I had a friend in Myrtle Beach so we had a free place to stay.

The race was red flagged due to rain and could not resume due to darkness so Darrell Waltrip ended up the winner. During the rain delay, I was in the infield when I saw Kyle Petty sprinting. Not far behind in pursuit was ESPN's Dr. Jerry Punch and a camera crew. Apparently Kyle did not want to talk, but I then witnessed a display of the Petty grace and style. Kyle stopped, signed an autograph for a young fan in a wheelchair, and resumed running.

Sure, it's superstition. But that's how some people are wired I guess.
