eBay Motors: Chevrolet : El Camino (item 120262544029 end time May-25-08 18:28:05 PDT)

Kind of neat seeing an Indy support vehicle. I've never seen an Indy ElCamino before. Well I have seen this one. Here's what is weird. Many years ago I was looking for pics of a GMC Diablo and I stumbled upon the pic below. I've had it in my documents for a couple of years now. Check out the other pics on the guys eBay auctions. Okay, who admits they bought a Cavalier festival car? WTF! The Corvette is the pace car and Chevy picks the Cavalier for the Festival car.

I can remember this time of year. When I lived in Omaha I would take the long way to Bowling Green. Stopping off at the Indy Speedway to check out the musuem and the teams practicing for the Memorial day race. What I remember in 1998 was that all of those Corvette Pace Cars and Festival cars were parked out in a lot outside the track against the street. There was a 10 foot tall chainlink fence keeping them safe. I wanted to get some pics to show the guys at work so I walked up and put my camera lens through the links to snap a pic of the inside of one of the cars. The keys were in there dangling from the ignition. You know I didn't think that neighborhood was all that safe looking. Man wouldn't that have been funny. The OGs running around Indy in stolen Festival cars. I think that was the year some drunk smashed his truck(and brains) against the wall when the guards left the track gate open.
