Default IRL Corn 250

I was at the race Yesterday, and Chevy had a big display of team Chevy Racing (surprise) and had e-85 Indy pace car, which is cool, but also had the Ron Fellows #3 C6.R car as well. It had an interesting stripe down the middle.

Has anyone put one on their Vette?

I'd sure like to see it. Can't really tell too much from the #3 because the body panels are so radical from the stock C6. Pics would be nice.

Hey did you get any pics? I'm in Mtown and really wanted to go to the race but after last year, thought I'd wait to see if they got the parking situation fixed. Mind telling me what you paid for tickets?

All the "pro-corn" commercials were funny....trying to convince us that ethanol from corn makes sense....even now when corn is 3 times the price it was a while ago. We haven't built a new oil refinery in 30 years but all of a sudden there are more than 150 new ethanol refineries in the USA. Just shows what we could do with oil if the government wanted to...

Side Note---How was the flyby? A friend of mine was flying one of the T-38s and the broadcast didn't show it.

The parking was fixed. Both in and out. Only took be ten minutes to get on the highway. Drove right in and parked. No really long lines anywhere on anything. It was a much improved event.

The Goodguys really put on a big show. Maybe I'll see you there.
