kevin's ideas

Kevin is known for his ideas...but this is definitely one for the books!!

March 2002
Gunnar Racing Plans Salute to Sebring’s Hendricks Field with
B-17 Flyover and Car Motif

With the help of a Flying Fortress, Gunnar Racing will salute military aviation history of the grounds of Sebring International Raceway with its entry in the 50th annual Twelve Hours of Sebring.

They will compete in the race with a Panoz Prototype racecar that is painted to resemble a World War II B-17 flying Fortress bomber.

The racecar motif will be a salute to the thousands of young flight crews who trained at Hendricks Field, a military aviation base whose expansive concrete runways gave birth to Sebring International raceway.

Here's Gunnar

Kevin even made our garage look like a bunker!

Kevin,
I remember seeing a little of this when you did it in 2002. The Hendrix Field salute is one of my favorite things that you have done. It's great to see all of these photos of your imaginative tribute to aviation history at Sebring!
