Making a Pit Stop
Yesterday, the FedEx Ground facility I worked at had a unique thing come through the hub.
The Nextel Cup car that the FedEx system sponsors pulled in to do some P.R. We did a cookout and had an opportunity to take pictures with the car (I have a Polaroid but need access to a scanner to scan it in).
I guess the one thing that stood out is how small those cars are. They're scarcely bigger that my car and a driver is basically packed into thier custom-sized cockpit like a sardine.
I also kind of wish they'd have "pulled the pins" on the hood and showed the engine.
But it was interesting to see one of those cars "up close".
I hope it comes back, hopefully one day as part of a "victory lap". ¶ 8:12 AM
