went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last Sunday, thanks to an invite sent to me by COOPERation. I don't (yet) have pics of Baby Blue on the track itself, but I'm working on them. Until then, here's some pics for your viewing pleasure:

It's a Cooper that raced in the 1961 Indianapolis 500, and did rather well (started and finished 9th). It was cool to see the car, designed by John Cooper, especially since it was BRG with a white(ish) "top"

Mini Yoda.

Great photos, too.

Awaiting replies about the source of those wheels, stripes, and white mirrors.

Two days and counting for mine.
