BUY THAT CAR!!!

SACKEY KNOWS HIS F40s.

Do what you have to do to get this car!!!

It even has red tape on top of the steering wheel for Putnam trips. All set to go.

Man I can't wait for May....

The shot above must be on a restart, as the cars are not in qualifying order. The race took 2 days in 67.

Here is the original full field:

Andretti / Gurney / Johncock

Foyt (67 500 Winner) / Leonard / Jones (Winner of the 67 Indy 490 in theTurbine car)

Ruby / B Unser / A Unser

Looking back at my old pic of the Camaro leading 4 Indy cars, I decided to try to figure out who they are. Here is the info on the 67 Race, Mario qualified on the pole, A.J. won. (back in the days when drivers only needed one name to be household personalities) The white car with little front winglets should be Mario.

Also note there were 63 qualifying attempts!

Gas turbined-'STP Oil Treatment Special'.This was the first Indianapolis 500 to be televised in color by ABC during ABC's Wide World of Sports.
Andy Granatelli, the CEO of STP, introduced the first turbine-powered car into the Indianapolis 500.

The last two are good 'ol Hoss from Bonanza as the celebrity (Lorne Greene was there too that year) and Johnny Carson behind the wheel.

67 used white/blue, 69 was white with orange.

That will be pretty cool pacing the race!

Not sure why they don't use white as the base color though. Like these!

In Japan. Yuki will have to read the ad for you...

I can't link to YT from the site I am at today, but you might also find the 308 with Tubi on a dyno. It's a dark red one with gold wheels. Search 308 and you'll find it near the top.

I see why that car gets 5 stars on every sound clip.

We're putting an Italian restaurant in the new hotel. Maybe I can convince the interior designer they need some Countach parts on the walls.
