Default Red Pace Car

Hi Everyone. Sorry I haven't been on here much. My computer crashed some time ago and the computer I have access to some times won't load the pages on here. Some times not at all. So having acces to the web site is difficult.

I'll try to be more visable in the coming weeks/months. If I could get my compter running I could be.

My girlfriend Debbie and I went out to dinner with my parents last saturday. This Pace car was setting in the lot. So you know me. I took a couple photos with my cell phone. I thought you'd like to see the car?

Well, here's the thing. The pace car RJ saw is the 2000 Pace Car. It was painted Torch Red, not Victory Red. Note the picture below. The Dale Jr edition on the left is Victory Red. The 2000 Pace Car on the right is Torch Red. Torch red is brighter.

My picture doesn't do it justice. I wish I would've parked closer to the pace car. But in person, the difference is like night and day. Victory red is noticably darker.
