    But it would only work side to side and not front to back...

    Well....
    If the sprint cars could have run at Indy... OK.

    Midgets... not so much...

    No later than that but there are pictures of wooden bucks to make bodies. I don't know enough to know what they would be for.

    It's certainly his helmet.

    Here are some pics I took at the Marlboro Challenge at Nazareth. Don't know the year though. And yes I know they are crappy pics.

    Here is something that is Indycar related but not something that is touched on that often, The PPG pacecars.

    Details, Oval......

    My own favorite, also involved a Menard car....Scott Brayton 1996, scratching first entry to re-qualify and bump Arie off of the pole.

    Oh man, what an exciting run. You know when a driver gets a bit too high at Indy and kicks up some dust near the wall? He did that every lap. I was actually starting to get scared for him during the run. Afterwards he admitted to touching the wall twice during the 4 laps. That guy WANTED it! I didn't know much about Eddie Cheever before that day. At the end of the day I knew all that I needed to.

    (Here's a brief overview of Cheever's 1993 month of May.)

    Set an Indy record with 6 qual attempts in 3 different cars.

    3 attempts in the Turley Motorsports #99. (accepted 3rd try on 3rd day of quals, later bumped by #25 Mark Smith).

    1 attempt late on qual day 3 in #99t, too slow, wave off.

    2 attempts on qual day 4 in Menard #59. Practiced car for first time at 3pm. 1st attempt wave off at 5:10pm. 2nd (banzai) attempt at 5:45pm, bumped Bobby Rahal. Cheever made the field as slowest qualifier, started 33rd and finished 16th.

    Go to this link to find a great post qualifying quote from Cheever.
    Scroll down to page 64. (you can choose the page you want at the top.)

    Hey Tom, (and everyone else who wants to post photos, c'mon people!!)

    1) go to photobucket.com, flickr.com or one of the many other photo hosting sites on the web. register to open a free account. it's quick, easy and free.

    2.) i'm assuming you have already scanned your photos and have them in a file on your computer such as in your "my documents".

    3) while logged onto your new photobucket account, (will use photobucket just as an example) you will see an icon (upper middle of screen) that says "upload photos" or something to that effect.

    4) click "upload photos" and your "my documents" will appear. go into your saved documents (photos) folder and choose (click/highlight in blue) the photos you want to upload to photobucket. click save in your "my documents" and the photos will then upload to photobucket.

    5) minimize that browser and open a new one, go to wherever you want to post a photo. this website? now you have 2 browsers open.

    6) click "post reply" to post like you normally would.

    7) in the "post reply" window you will see a bunch of icons at the top. click the one that looks like a yellow box with mountains in it. if you move your mouse over it, it says "insert image".

    8) a box will appear where you will insert the http address. (note: if http appears in the box, which it should, delete it, you want a clear box for the address to be inserted).

    9) go back to your other browser with your newly uploaded photobucket photos in it.

    10) find the photo you want to post. put your mouse over chosen photo. a box will appear under it with info such as the http direct link.

    11) right click the 2nd line in the list (this is the direct link) and click "copy".

    12) go back to the other browser with "post reply" box. put your mouse in the "insert image" box, right click and hit "paste" to insert the direct link into address line. you have just copy/pasted the direct link from photobucket to post reply. click insert, or whatever it says, and your photo will appear in the "post reply" messege below.

    13) hit "submit reply" and it should post your reply and photo for all to see.

    14) keep this in mind also. in the future, if you decide to delete or remove that photo from photobucket, the photo will no longer appear in the messege board. that's why you see the white box with the little "red x" in it sometimes. it means the photo has been moved. i hate it when people do that, lol.

    this may sound confusing at first but it is super easy after you do it a few times. feel free to pm me if you have questions, i can help. i can pm you my cell number and walk you through it a few times if need be. can't wait to see your photos!
    David.

    Thanks stpwildcat. I always like that scheme myself. I coudn't understand why they only did it for the one year. Should have stayed like that IMHO.
