Musclecarblog.tumbler has a great focus on late 60's high performance musclecars, and Mopars particularly

Of course I love this R/T photo, I've got an R/T... and my last musclecar was a Superbee that looked exactly like the above R/T, with a bee on the grill instead of the rt.

1969 David Pearson #17 Holman Moody Ford Torino Cobra Talledega, is it the same car as the one in my banner?

Here's the original that I used for my banner above, it must be the following car... just different graphics due to circumstances

Holman Moody prepared Ford's first purpose-built NASCAR racer, the Torino Talledega, for Pearson, who won 11 races and his third championship.

In a Chinook helicopter.
As a salute to US military veterans, the monster double-rotor chopper touched down by the side of track, releasing the Camaro driven by NASA astronaut Doug Hurley, who is not only a US Marine Corps colonel, but also holds a Texas Motor Speedway season ticket and piloted the shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station in July.
