Maverick Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Ahhh daymn! Its from the worlds greatest Days Of Thunder, staring the worlds greatest Tom Cruise Quote
R Dubya Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Although you may think of him as the greatest, I intend no personal attack towards you, just Tom Cruise. He is a self-centered, arrogant bastard that believes the world owes him something much more than he's already taken. My mother met him, and knows a restaurant owner to who's business he frequents, and he treats everyone like shit. No wonder Kidman left his ass. Anyway, that was a cool flic, and every once in a while, he makes a decent film. Quote
Intlcutlass Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Back to the original question now..... No. the TGP was never a pace car. The Cutlass was however..... Quote

I believe it was Gearhead43 that told me an actual pace car TGP was in a museum somewhere in North Carolina..but don't quote me on that. Quote
runt Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 So you mean that really was a TGP in Days of Thunder? If so, I'm gonna have to watch it again! I always thought that pic was a photoshop. Quote

I have a entire program from the 1990 Miller Genuine Draft 400..i'll up some pics...they used all the W-Bodys in NASCAR back then now if only i could find a usb cable in this mess.... Quote
Steve LS Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 what reagal nascar, i just knew of the G bodies. Anyone know where you can get old NASCAR pics of some of the other cars, like the Olds? jon The LeSabre H (body)replaced G in 86/87. Delta 88 also. Boddy and Donny Allison drove them http://home.flash.net/~rjgeorge/86lgn.htm Then in 88 the Regal W was used. I have a 89 Buick buyers guide shows Bobby Allisons 88 Regal. Its a picture of a W Regal, G Monty and I believe the front of a H Oldsmobile. The G Monty definently looks dated beside the others. Im not a NASCAR follower but I believe Bobby did well with both the H and W bodied Buick cars. So how many TGP pace cars are their ? Quote
