Totally AWESOME!! You seem to find these cool unique opportunities to get your cars out on the track, Very nice, way to represent the Monte's.. The new paint really pops, looks absolutely show room fresh. How sweet of a picture to have with the Monte on the Victory Lane area. Thanks for sharing the pictures, by the way there was someone in your back seat...Seems like most of us never use the darn thing....WELL DONE!!

Very cool. Saw the video also.

I gotta ask though. Is that a Jeep Cherokee? Who takes that around a race track?

That guy does. There was a Subaru station wagon, a Volvo station wagon, and a few Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys.

What ever floats their boat I suppose. But back to you. That's cool that you got to take both, the Torino and the Monte around a track. What vehicle is next?

I'm jealous, I can only wish to do something like this..... The NMCOA Monte Nats is in Jefferson City, TN this year and they have all have the chance to go out on Bristol for a few laps and I can't make it there this year.........

Really. Shouldn't you have both arms in the air in a victory salute?

Numbers mean various things. This was the first run for the Monte Carlo, thus, 1 finger.... the other shot has 4 fingers, for the 4th time I've driven on a NASCAR track....

Drivers sometimes hold up fingers for how many wins they've won that season or what not. For instance, Stewarts third championship in 2011....




Or a 1 finger just to say "I'm number one."




You're thinking more about the "initial climb out of the car" cheer thing... I could have done that too, I guess...
