Default GET THIS...........

Tony Stewart's car just drove past my house.

I mean an orange Home Depot Nascar with the #20 on the doors just drove past.

Not the TS Monte Chevy sold at the dealers.

Are Nascars street legal? Cause I can hear the guy ripping through the gears a couple miles away.

As far as I know, they are not street legal for many reasons. Like everything emissions related, plus the fact that all the lights are stickers may be a problem too. Just to name a few.
Besides, aren't the real NASCARs very slow starting off the line? I was under the impression their power is mostly at the higher end speeds.

Starting in the back of the pack, but infront of his house? That's pretty far back! lol

It's not impossible to make a stock car street legal... just figgure on shoe-horning it in some late 80's Chevy...

I mean... the big things are like the saftey stuff for other ppl.. horns... turn signals/taillights/headlights etc.

I personally saw the back & pass side of this car go past my house yesterday. (large hint, it was really loud)




If Tony's starting at the back of the pack, maybe that is near my house? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Tony does own Eldora Speedway which is north of me.
Maybe he stopped by his aunt's house down the road before the races there last night? (it could happen)

It's possible he may have arranged a promotional thing, and got permission to drive his race car down the street. That'd be kinda cool to see actually. Was the street closed to regular traffic at the time? It would be funny if it wasn't, and he was stuck in traffic.

I could just picture some guy in the car behind him trying to have a conversation on the cell phone: "CAN YOU SPEAK UP HONEY? SOME IDIOT IN FRONT OF ME HAS ONE OF THOSE LOUD MUFFLERS."
