How Many days to the Daytona 500?
MIKE ALLARD .
Mike and the rest of the Allard family found and restored this original Gene Coleman modified. This car was found and rescued from a Upper Michigan scrap days before it was to be crushed. The car wears a Ford Model A body and is powered by an FE ford motor, just as it was when Gene raced it in the 60's
I watched this car make a whole lotta laps. Gene is one of the nicest guys to talk to.
The above car in all it's racing glory.

Just because I didn't post a Petty Superbird.
Absolutely one of the best looking and badass race cars ever made.

I forgot about the turbines. Wasn't that the car that had a full lap lead over the field with four laps to go then blew out a $6 transmission bearing?
