Monte Carlo

One of the interesting things about Mrs. Architecturefootballandfood's Dad is the fact that he used to be a Rally racecar driver. (Which reminds me that one of the (possibly the only) interesting things about the word "racecar" is that it's spelled the same going forwards AND backwards. Palindrome!) Tomorrow he'll head off to Monte Carlo to be in the official "cheering team" for a team from Japan participating in the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique. It's basically an all-star race for veteran drivers. This team in particular won the actual race in 1979, and they'll be using the same car that they won it with. He will be in support of No. 15 Nakagawa and Morikawa's team, driving a Mazda. The funny thing is that most everyone else is driving Peugots, Mercedes, Alfa Romeos, Porches and the like, and the Japanese team is representing with a Mazda! You have GOT to love that.
