Legend has it the 'V' sign originated with Henry V's Welsh longbow men during his wars in France.. They would taunt the French (so nothing new there) by showing them the two fingers used to draw the bow string bakc to fire the long bow. seeing as a the time the 'English' (actually the majority were Welsh) archers were the onyl users of long bows in Europe, they could do so out of range of the cross bows used by the French and their Swiss Mercenaries.

The punishment for captured longbow men was to have those very same fingers removed.

So this cornerman may have been German or not, but unless he was from the UK its unlikely it s deliberate 'F-U' to Hamilton, who afterall drives a Merc....

OK well I guess I stand corrected. I knew the story of the "V" sign and thought it was a European thing.

Still a funny picture though.

This link has the story on the pace car at Indy.

400+ HP pushing 2 tons of poorly designed metal around on bias ply tires. I'm surprised it didn't happen more often.

We hired an ex-Walker Racing machinist about three months ago. Come to find out that his first job in racing was at Holbert Racing and moved to Indy with Derrick when the shop closed after Al's death. He doesn't know much about 911s, but when he saw mine he thought I would like this picture he had buried in his toolbox. He took it because he wanted a pic of HR1, the first Penn. build 962. He didn't know what the red cars were, but had an idea that they were "special". He said they were shipped back to Germany soon after the photo. Pretty cool, huh?

Depends significantly on the state of affairs with the model....I am sure a thorough pre-photograph cleaning was a requirement....

I think that 962 does regular time at the Holbert's dealership around the corner. I may be wrong, but there is a 962 in the showroom from time to time that has him listed as a driver.
