These pics come courtesy of Duesey over at Supercars.net who was invited to see Bruce's personal collection recently.

There's lots of great shots of #038, as well as his Enzo, Murcie Roadster, and Gulf Edtn Ford GT.

Great stuff Erik (and Eric). Thanks for sharing!

Erik, do you know how Duesey managed to swing this little get-together?

I think it was one of those right place, right time, expressed interest, received invitation kind of things.

Doesn't Mr. Weiner own a bubble gum/candy factory? Now look at the size of the guy standing in front of the middle garage door in one of the pics. I agree with the expressed interest, but I wonder if it was cars...





or candy!

Awesome, that's definitely something I can understand considering how I saw my first F1.

Thank you Duesey and Erik for allowing us to see these pics! Definitely one of my favorite F1s.

He's out of that business actually - I believe he sold Concord Confections to the Tootsie Roll people for almost 200M. Duesey said he's retired now.

Duesey also confirmed through Bruce that there was an owner of #038 between Dan and Bruce, leaving open the possibility that Alfredo Brener in Houston did own the car for that short window of time. He wasn't able to confirm the name though, but I'd be surprised if it was someone else.

Ace pics!!

(Erik, must apologize, been spelling your name with a c, instead of a k)

Thanks for posting a link to the photos Erik. And thanks to the people who took the photos and shared them.

Is there a way to get the original videos of the McLaren? Google video is good, but you can't save the vids as they are in flash format.

[a5678]

Nevermind, I realized you CAN download the vids, but you have to get the Googler video player first.
