Looks like the #3 car in the rear. I thought JR was going to run in a #8 car today.

It's good to see them in Yellow again... no offense to Lemans Blue folks, that color is beautiful, but I'm a little biased. :flag

Just for info most of the driver's did not really like the blue, not because of the color so much as it was changed from what the cars have been since starting to win, also there is a little intimidation factor in that yellow color, especially as it filles the rear view mirror. .

Also, it doesn't seem that you can click on the picture to get the original size photo anymore. Like we could with the old forum format. Some of the pics lately have been wonderful but unable to get full size to be able to use as wallpaper. My .02

Probably temperature. It's hot enough in the cars and a lighter color would help when they're walking around, too.

Those are the original size, or I should say, same size as the source link.

Right Click on the pic, copy the URL, then open in another window...

like this:

That's why a few guys had 2048x1536 Sig pics after the new board software, the new board doesn't shrink them.

Back on topic:

Man, this really makes me mad that some family stuff came up on Thursday jsut before we were going to leave for SearsPoint. I had my D100, four 4GB Microdrives and notebook ready to go so I could take as many pics as possible.... Grr.. When they hit up Laguna Seca, I don't care what the emergency is, I'm not going to eat the weekend pass.. As long as it isn't my Wife, or Me that has issues the rest of them can kiss my.......

I just read that Jr. crashed and burned in Sonoma CA this morning, he wasn't hurt that bad but they have pulled the car from the race.

Yes......he was on cold tires in morning practice and lost it and backed the car into a tire wall. He sat for a few seconds then the entire car erupted in flames....VERY SCARY! He was able to climb out and was taken to a local hospital to be checked out.

Car was toast!
