    We park in the same spot every year at the top of the hill before you make the curve and drop down to the track. Funny thing, we park by the "pace cars" each time. The one next to me is the only real 55 pace car, the other 2 are clones. 99% of the people taking pictures will walk all around the real one to shoot photos of the fake patina 2nd one.
    I watched a young fellow take about 30 shots of the one in the middle and then got up and politely told him that while he was taking pictures, you might want to get a couple of this one here, its the only real one that you will ever likely see.
    The older guy left it to his twin boys and when he passed year before last, they keep bringing it. He was a great guy as well as his sons. And he bought it in 1958 and drove it til 92. The younger brothers got it road worthy in 2014 and he got to enjoy it till the end. 20220813_102012.jpg
