A friend of mine is out wandering the country and saw this mailbox near West Crornwall, CT. Appears to be a car that was wrecked so somebody just stood it on it's nose near their mailbox. You can see it on Google Maps Streetview.

How do you view it? All I got was a map & some unrelated photos?

Just like Connecticut. Mailbox but no sprint car races....

A little research shows that this may be the 41U car of Rick Stone. Looks like an older car but I find results of him racing this year as well - Empire Lightning Sprints it looks like.

Sprint Car on a stick.  I'm surprised that neighbors who don't appreciate the beauty of this scene haven't enforced it's removal.  No way I could hang a Sprint Car next to my mailbox and get away with it.  Forest Lake, Minnesota doesn't even allow overnight parking let alone suspended Sprinters.  ;)
