Caps and Snake at Indy

[r2]

I heard they are Paul.
Looks like you're out of space ...

 

[BOO BOO]

Well, yeah, but..... Gotta get the NAPA in there. Anyhoo, Capps car does look very cool with these colors. Am glad Snake will be with him in the pits.

Seen a interview with Capps , the Napa signage was his idea. They were ok without it.

To claim Snake won it again was ridiculous!

I hope they come out with a diecast at some point, would be a good addition to the Snake shelf.

I'm in , I will buy one. Heard somewhere else swag will be coming out! After winning today Ron said "this dos'nt happen". What a great idea he had and dotted the I's and crossed the T's in this deal. This will go into the archives as the coolest throwbacks ever! Way to go Ron - Congrats on the win!

Come on now. Obviously he didn't physically win but he won in spirit. A great moment for a true drag racing legend and for the man who carried on the tradition 50 years later.

Remember that those two had a falling out some years ago and I don't recall hearing that they have patched things up.

I can't speak on their relationship, but Snake did stick around to watch Larry's car run in Q1. They were the next car up after Capps ran.

Well, that was a perfect ending for their week ! Snake still looks pretty damn good for 80 !

This rates right up there with Steve Torrence winning for Garlits with the Garlits' themed car. Gatornats.

Do you have this car Paul?
The car is zip tied and screwed into the base. That’s the way it came.
The lid snaps into the base and has never been off.

There was one race in Elims when Capps & opponent (JR?) both got loose. Snake was watching and he hit his hand on his heart after the run. He knew exactly what was going on out there. He's never gonna forget what it was like to race a flopper.

I’m more of a funny car guy. The Pepsi cars are my favorite. I’m pretty sure I have every scale of Pepsi Challenger ever offered from 1/64 to the Go Kart. Other than the real car of course.

It's in his DNA. I would love to see him take a 300 foot squirt.

Wow! Never seen the go cart. I have the big plastic one. Very cool!

 

[mick]

that's cool paul, now i actually know two people that own the driveable cart version

I remember when Snake came out with the Pepsi Firebird. Saw it at AHRA Winternats at the old Tucson Dragway. I thought that car was sooooo slick! He won the race on a sub-par track. I think that was 1982, more or less.

do you think behind closed doors at mopar/dodge motorsports a few people still whisper to each other?, 'you know not going with capps was a big mistake'

That's still a lil baffling to me. I get that he was going out on a new venture but to pass on a guy who just won his second championship with your brand? Then he goes back to back in his first year with another manufacturer and could very well 3 peat this year?

Mistakes were made.

Well, Mopar is Italian now, so....
