Since this race is being run in a liberal “blue” state shouldn’t the pace car reflect the venue? I would suggest a Toyota Prius with Barbara Boxer as pace car driver or a dirty hippie on roller skates and a rainbow motif. And drivers should be allowed to bump draft the pace car! Ratings would be way up!
The real California pace car should be a Volkswagon Bus with flower power motif.
Pre race throws Barbara boxer under the bus. Cheech Marin is the grand marshall. Jimi Hendrix plays the National Anthem.
Cars are equipped with low rider shocks and 20 inch chrome wheels.
