No, I cannot. Might try someone else.
The Speedway's Media Website (with the Hi-Res pics) doesn't either.
I did find this one , though. http://500legends.com/plogger/plog-c...bs-mclaren.jpg

Can-Am Cars has this car for sale with picture and some history of the car, Including this one at Indianapolis.

Photo of one of my hometown guys, Karl Busson, and mention of another, Rollie Beale...LITTLE 500..1966
those are some ballsy-looking cars in '66- I just went to the Jerry Richert (he's the guy in #63) Memorial race near the Twin Cities a few weeks ago- his son races in our local Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS)
wasn't the photographer Walt Chernookal the guy who had a homemade motordrive back in the early '50s who captured some amazing series of east coast sprint car wrecks? One of them appeared as a spread in LIFE IIRC.

It was the Charlie Musselman ejection crash at Langhorn that was in life magazine. 1957 I believe.
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved
body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting
"...holy $^!+...what a ride!"

yep, that's it- found some shots with an image search- they were taken by Walt Chernokal- incredible pics for the day-
Charlie got a concussion but no broken bones or serious injuries- his shoes were gone though....

I was at that race. Tks Jerry. Believe Mario won. Was at the race there in 65 too.ATLANTA..1966
Musselman broke an arm.
So glad he survived that one as he helped Joe Leonard assist Mel Kenyon after his fiery Langhorne crash in '65.
Please visit the tribute to my longtime friend Mel Kenyon
...and my hometown guy JR....dirt track legend in these parts....watched him race in the twilight of his career at Northstar speedway, where I spent many a Sunday night.
1985 Bobby Rahal hero card
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison
1988 John Andretti hero card
Looks like a massive rear wing for what looks like a slightly banked oval. Im gonna guess its Phoenix.
Old pic from my dads collection
I am in the process of finding images of certain cars to draw on my grandparents garage door, and I need some help finding certain shots of those cars.
My grandpa would like:
- Jimmy Bryan in 1958
- Tom Sneva in 1983
- Tony Stewart in 1996 (blue sidepods)
- AJ's farewell car
but, he wants them in certain positions, :
Bryan needs to be a right side shot, so does Sneva, while AJ and Tony need to be left side shot. I believe that I have Sneva and Bryan down, I am having trouble finding pictures of the other two.
Can I have some help please?
One of my favorite laydowns, even liked the pink color... should have won it all in '59.Old pic from my dads collection
Tom, he should have won in 1960 too. He was right on Ward and Rathmans tail (closed to 5 seconds bak) when he burned a valve with 15 laps left. Ward even commented that he didn't know what would happen when he caught them.
Was searching for this, what year was this car? Was it a 1991 or 1992 ?Frank Freon 1995
I remember being at the track with my dad and a friend and we were joking because Franck visually looked slow compared to the rest.
I believe it's a 1992 Lola Buick
Straightup
I think it's a 1993 Lola Chassis with a Buick engine, basing this on the rear wing & the wheels. Car i'm sure was owned by Ron Hemelgarn & that team always used buick power in the early 90's...
I have the "Life" magazine with some good photos of that, although I swear it was earlier than 1960. I'll have to look for it this weekend.
the thing about raceday at Indy is that there are always hundreds of great pro photographers around who are on the alert for just about anything to happen
the person who got the shots of the scaffolding going over had to really be quick on the trigger to get it in frame and in focus in those days.....
That car came mighty close to making the field. '95 was a crazy year. He did a great job.
What happened to all of the "Sneva33" photos?
Some more diamonds in the rough to share with everyone. Welcome to the '68 Indy, courtesy of some amatuer slides. I suspect these were taken during practice or qualifying rather than on race day, but I'm not sure about that. If I've got any of the details wrong please let me know. I'm going mainly by car numbers moreso than visual recognition.
