I have been hearing rather a lot about the ALMS race at Mosport, which was a fantastic race, but one thing I have not heard is the answer to "Why is Rinaldo Capello called 'Dindo'?"
Does anybody know? |

From what was said on the Speedvision coverage of the Sebring 12 Hours race, little Capello lived near a church. When the church bells would ring, he would go around saying "din-do, din-do", and that's how he got the nickname.
Kind of like Roy "Buckshot" Jones in NASCAR. |

Then we should be calling him Dingdong?
No, I like Dindo and that is a cute story. |

Well, "Bubba" is Southern for Brother, and if I were a race car pilote I'd rather be called Dindo than Bubba!
