We were at Texas Motor Speedway Saturday for the IRL race there. I thought I'd share a few of the pics Dano36 has e-mailed me today. Thanks Dano. Great show. We had a blast! :)

 

They were going really, really fast when this shot was taken ............

Obscure (at least in N. America) old South American racer Emilio Guapodera of Cartagena, Columbia ............

Buddy,

Those who know him call him Guapo for short. He would still be racing but with the addition of that

gut under that shirt he can no longer clear the cockpit. Too bad. He always gave old Stu D.

Baker a run for his money.

For those that don't know them .................. we're just kidding on here about the guy in the pic above. That's actually Dano's son Steve. :)

 

 

THE RACE:

 

Milka parks in the grass and climbs out after contact on the backstretch ..........

A Foyt pit stop. A.J. IV, in the car. THE MAN ........ directing the action ........... standing in the blue shirt in his box just to the right of the big light.
