CoolPix- Racers: Strega (Italian For Witch) In The Pit At Reno 2009 by Martt
Here's a CoolPix in the 'Racers' category... and it's another pic I took at Reno 2009.  I thought it was particularly interesting because of the witch that's hanging from the roof over the business end of the P-51 Strega, the 2009
Unlimited Gold Race Champion.
I'm guessing many of you already knew that 'Strega' is the Italian word for 'witch'.  It was new to me, but I don't think I'll have any trouble remembering now after this pic!  And while I don't think Strega was tapping into any supernatural powers at Reno 2009, there's no doubt there was a lot of horsepower involved.  With 22 year old Steve Hinton Jr in the cockpit, Strega had both the strength and the endurance to come out on top.  It was pretty special too as Steve is the youngest winner ever of the Gold Unlimited Race. ...
