Historic pics - the numbers game

Some of you might have played this game before on other forums. The idea is to post a series of pictures of historic racing cars, in an ascending order based on their racing numbers. Ideally you would post a picture of a driver/car/team you like, as there is nothing to win here except the joy of sharing some nice pics and eventually anecdotes .

Let me kick this off with one of my favourite drivers, my man Danny On-the-Gas in one of his numerous Interscope cars . This Fred Lewis pic was taken at the 1982 IMSA Finale in Daytona, where Ongais retired early with the #0 Lola T600 [HU6] but nevertheless won the race with the team car #00 Lola T600 [HU7].



Apologies for the watermark but I could not find a better shot of the car .

Let's see how far up we can go, the first 100 or so pics are usually easy, but of course the higher we go the harder it is to find a pic !

Très bonne idée, Frank !
Par contre, je trouve que ce serait vachement sympa que les photos que l'on mette en ligne soient des photos perso.

Niveau photos perso, ca va vite être limité.
Monaco histo :

C'est quoi le 2 roues derrière la caisse? Un vélo du futur?

Si on s'arrête aux photos perso, seuls ceux qui ont été sur circuit, et avec un appareil photo, peuvent jouer. C'est un peu excluant.

le 5 le + célèbre du monde ?

Laurent Groppi au volant ici (si je ne me trompe pas), elle terminera à la 8ème place le dimanche suivant.

N º 5 had already been posted, Martin eliminated from the game. Next one please 

Mark Martin was getting a little older just before retiring and SOME of his fans were too (not me smartasses). Hence the sponsorship change.



I used to cheer for Martin and Rusty Wallace. Martin had a bad crash to the infield side of the track. The belts squashed his nuts pretty bad. He had the high voice syndrome but still toughed it out and talked to the announcers.

My bet was you posting Michael Andretti's champ car, that was unexpected. I'll wait till #31 

Photo prise pas très loin de celle proposée par Martin :

La 908 ou Le Grand Regret

Bon, j'ai fait vite fait le tour des quelques photos que j'ai sur Picassa... si vous y allez pas, je me déchaîne !

Hors concours :


ps: qu'est-ce que je vais pas poster pour arriver plus vite à mon 1000ème message !

Combo bonus, you managed to post #9 and #10 with one pic.

That's a shame just found this one
