No one had to badge the Offy.
these were shot by the late Earl Ma. I didnt know him personally and we never met but he was a friend of several here at Trackforum. He gave me a bunch of his Indy shots in excahnge for something of mine. I dont even recall what he got in return. Probably a yearbook or program I had doubles of or something.
He gave me quite a few pics. I will post more
I love the De Ferran Monday morning shot. Loved it so much I had it blown up and framed and it still hangs in my man-cave
