This what happens when you can't sleep on a Sunday morning and you are staring at a blank computer screen ---- but wouldn't it be fun.
I am sure somewhere in this wonderful country there are 33 vintage, 1957 to 1966, roadsters that have raced at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
What kind of thrill would it be to see 33 of these beauties lined up for one more start on the 2 1/2 mile squared oval, but with a wee bit of a difference.
There would be no Foyt, or Mario, or Rutherford, or Parnelli doing the steering. Sitting proudly in the cockpit, with their heads and arms in plain view, would be Castroneves, Hornish, Tracy, maybe even Danica, and 29 other hot dogs from CC and the irl.
I wish we could also invite Stewart and Jeffy from NASCAR land but I am afraid that wouldn't really be fair.
Now we wouldn't expect them to go 500 miles racing these brutes, maybe their arms and hands could stand 250 miles holding on to a real steering wheel.
Anyone care to predict what the first few laps would look like and if you want to stck your neck way out what would the field look like coming out of the fourth turn on the 99th lap.
I would buy a ticket to see this one.
