Toolboxes of IndyCar

[Burgerkong]

Went to practice today, sorry for the crappy pics, cellphone was all I had. Seems like most of the boxes were CMan Pro. Very small percentage of teams used Snap-On, and of all the race trailers/setups, I only spied one Lista and Vidmar box sadly.

Seems like someone likes his 3/8" DeWalt impact gun, never thought they';d have the torque necessary to tighten or loosen centerlock sockets, aren't they all in the range of 350 ft lbs? Who makes a 2" 3/8's drive socket anyways?

Cool Pics! Technically though, half of those were the "Toolboxes of Ferrari Challenge"

 

[Burgerkong]

Fine. You got me there haha.

 

[WSMC633]

hahah. My friends run a Ferrari Challenge team. They should be there. I know they have Snap-On and Mac around the shop. Not sure what their road boxes are. I'm pretty sure one of my friends use to take his Mac Cart on the road. But No idea these days. Budgets are surprisingly pretty tight. They all buy their own tools, and I'm sure use whatever any sponsor gives them.

 

[Burgerkong]

What's the team name? Yeah, I hear you regarding budget, a lot of the teams there only had their car and their trailer, whereas other teams had a full blown display area and multiple RV's.

They're Ferrari of Beverly Hills and Ferrari of Silicon Valley. Super Good guys!!! They've been racing for a LONG time!

 

[Burgerkong]

I liked their trailer decals haha:

 

[WSMC633]

Hahaha.. Yep! That's it! **** hauler... Right?!!??!!!

 

[Burgerkong]

Talk about budget haha, they dominated the area lol.

 

[Burgerkong]

I was going to see if the teams were going to get rid of some wheels, would look killer as a living room table lol.

Anybody know what kind of flooring they are using in the last 2 photos? Is that something that rolls up, or something like Race Deck?

 

[Burgerkong]

The latter, you can see the 'teeth' where the flooring clicks onto each other on the right.

Cool Pics! Technically though, half of those were the "Toolboxes of Ferrari Challenge"

And out of the other half, two of the pics are Star Mazda cars, not indy.

[Burgerkong]

LOL. I'll fix that right away.

 

[Burgerkong]

I believe this was the one.

 

[Scout Driver]

Yes. Much appreciated my friend!

what no track girls? I looked through my old pictures and really couldn't find anything with tools in them. Did the Indy circuit for 3 years and thinking back I should have taken more pictures! I did find this one..... note the snap-on vise which is identical to my craftsman professional at home....

 

[Flatintoone]

Awesome! I'm not the only one craning my neck looking at tools! Did you catch my thread from Indy this year?

Enjoy the race. Wish I could be there. Toronto looks like a good show.
