About this paint

Hershel McGriff raced this Monte Carlo at the Goodyear 500 in Feburary 1988 at the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia finishing 6th after a very competitive drive . Inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2023 after racing well up to 90 years old . Dale Snr called him "Older than Dirt" . A true gentleman of the sport. The Thunderdome is a purpose-built 1.801 km (1.119 mi) quad-oval speedway located on the grounds of Calder Park Raceway. It was originally known as the Goodyear Thunderdome to reflect the naming rights sponsorship bought by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. With its "double dogleg" front stretch and the start/finish line located on a straight section rather than the apex of a curve, the Thunderdome is technically a quad-oval in shape, though since its opening it has generally been referred to as a tri-oval. The track, modelled on a scaled down version of the famous Charlotte Motor Speedway, has 24° banking on Turns 1, 2, 3 and 4 while the front stretch is banked at 4° and the back straight at 6°.Just need Dale Jnr to hear about #scan_the_thunderdome
