That guy was flying down the pit road in the opening shot.  Looks like he just locked up the brakes trying to stop it.

Good vid....

I used to own a festival car. They would turn up on ebay every so often. I haven't seen one in awhile though. I've got an indy newspaper that details the crash. Its pretty cool!

I dig those wheels, I wonder where they came from? That crash is terrible. Didn't some of the pace cars come with R/T hoods?

I had a pace car a few years ago and it had a flat hood.  I sold it to my friend
