a couple of pics for older open wheel fans.

[midget racer]

the one is a tin indy roadster i found in horrible shape, and i spent a lotta time staightening it out, and painting it to look like a car dad drove at indy in '65. just need to have some scale sponsor decals made, and it's done... hello vinyl visions!! the other one is dad at indy in '69 the rr suspension broke coming down the front straight at about 180 mph, causing the car to make an an abrupt and severe right turn, nosing the car into the wall, and spinning down the straight. he got out of the car and waved his arms, because he knew there was a large group of cars behind him he had just passed. some of you may enjoy seeing old racecar pics you dont see anymore. i know i do.

Did the 29 car have a Ford (derived) engine?
THANX RICH

People say I'm getting crankier as I get older. That's not it. I just find I enjoy annoying people a lot more now. Especially younger people!!!

 

[midget racer]

[dirtboy]

dont think i'd been tring to wave the other cars down!

 

[midget racer]

when you pull your head out of your *** long enough to even drive a racecar, much less good enough to get to indy, then AND ONLY THEN can you tell anyone else what to do. until then stick with your 12hp craftsman tractor. btw, what's a 'tring'?

 

[FIREBALL]

belive it or not i have 4 or 6 laps around indy,,3d seat back on the tour bus LOL

 

[dirt hound]

tooka tour of the track acouple of years ago lol and my lil lady say where are we at I said on the track she asked again and again finally she say man this place is huge

 

[midget racer]

the wife(she had never been there) and i took a tour about 7 years ago( it was the day after tony renna was killed in a practice crash in one of ganassi's cars)... it was very un-nerving to see the damage in the grandstands between turns 3 and 4. the car actually left the track, hit a part of the stands, and vaulted him back onto the track. just visualizing what happened was scary in itself. the place is mind boggling.

 

[bttbracing10115]

hey Fireball u crossed the finish line ahead of me i was at the back of the bus LOL I think about 1994 that place is huge

 

[dirtboy]

[bttbracing10115]

[midget racer]

why would you degrade a perfectly good latemodel by hauling that piece of shi t around the track with it?

[bttbracing10115]
