The Historic Grand Prix - Jacky Icks' Brabham - and a reminder on the steering wheel


Don't you love this reminder ...

This is Jacky Ickx Brabham BT26 which won the German Grand Prix in 1969 - but it looks like it has a long way to go before racing tomorrow. I'm sure though it made it. These photos were taken on Thursday - the day the officials check out all the cars to make sure they follow whatever the requirements are in their particular class.

    This makes me smile!
    It seems they are all still screwing. Hopefully they will make it in time! :-)

  3. The note about fuel IS just great. The shots are all terrific.

  4. I can understand the importance for the note about the wheels more than the note about no fuel. Wouldn't the driver realize that there is no fuel when putting his foot on the gas, or by looking at the gas gauge.

    Yes... a good thing! We have tags that our shop can put on a school bus if it is 'downed,' that says 'Do Not Move.'
