Cool. Tony Bettenhausen? What year? I used to go to the time trials up there back in the 80's/early 90's. I wonder where my pics are... If I can find any I'll post 'em. No panoramic shots though. Those are too cool.  8) ;D

I'm pretty sure this was '86-- Rahal won after a week rain delay--I went out there twice in two weeks---from Virginia !!
My 40th Birthday and all.--like to see your old Indy stuff, too.

      Hey Phil, Cool shot there. 8)  Made me remember when I was in the 10th grade at Little Rock Tech High and (don't remember why but) Roger Ward came to our school. Would have been about 1964 when most of the Indy cars were offy powered. When did the Ford V8s appear at Indy, mid to late 60s? There was an attempt to use small block (modified 318s, I think) Chrysler motors prepared by Weslake. I'm thinking Jimmy Clark ran one of those Fords, didn't he? ??? Then there were the Turbine powered cars.

                                                        Later on, Bill :) ;)
