Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible

Every year in the month of May in Indianapolis, some very special cars drive around a famed oval and cross the famed "Yard of Bricks."

This year, an opportunity came up for ME to drive around the track!!  This may well be my favorite picture of the car ever!!  Now if I can only get a still shot of the car parked sideways across the bricks like they do with the
pace cars and the winners!!
 
 
 
I will post pix of the actual 78 Pace Car on another post. 
 
By the way, this is my 200th post!!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Wow Marshall, I think I'd wet myself if I could drive my Pacer for a lap round the Brickyard Approve  Awsome picture, I'd have that one framed if I were you.
