Re: Rechek crash at Angell Park Speedway

The car seems to jump in the air for no apparent reason; did something break?

Re: Indianapolis 500 Thoughts (Spoilers)

Ericson's argument of the one lap shootout on cold tires was a bit of a stretch; don't they come out on cold tires into heavy traffic after every green flag stop? No one has ever said that was...

Re: Indy 500 questions.

Pole Day can be fun too; may not have all the drama of bumping like the old days but watching everybody go out for 4 laps totally trimmed out and boosted up can be a pretty intense experience. Find a...

Re: When and Where Did You See Your 1st Sprint Car Race

My first sprint car race was at Ascot; I don't remember what year but it had to be between 1958 and 1960 because it was called "New Ascot Stadium" in those years and I distinctly remember seeing that...

Re: Gas City question

I think it's to keep cars from cutting through the infield; at the driver's meetings Larry always mentions how much Jack Himelick (the track owner) wants to keep the infield grass nice and you better...

Re: Respect/Appreciation of Driver

Seems like an escape hatch in the wing would be problematic; first, the wing has a top and a bottom surface so a single hatch would probably not work. Then, I've never seen a wing retain its' shape...

Re: Looking for photo

I think Big Al and/or Parnelli has driven that car at Perris during the hall of famers night (or whatever it's called) at least once; is that maybe what you're thinking of?

Re: USAC’s Bonus Bucks

I thought of that too Tim but I think you answered your own question; if an owner doesn't pony up to field cars in all 3 divisions then the bonus rightly goes to the driver. But let's say Emerson...

Re: USAC’s Bonus Bucks

Seems like any arrangements made between driver and car owner would be similar to how they would split up the purse payouts for, say a feature win. There's never officially a separate payout for...

Re: Fixing a midget bladder

I think you'd be better off looking for a used Saldana fuel-forward bladder in decent shape, especially if the one you have is already leaking. Patches are one thing but making major alterations to...

Re: Unidentified Indy500/F1 GrandPrix Race Car Circa 1951

That's not the same car at all; has that Italian flow of the bodywork, tighter, cleaner, and the most telling thing is that the exhaust is on the other side.

Re: Unidentified Indy500/F1 GrandPrix Race Car Circa 1951

I was thinking looks more British, like a Connaught, or HWM, or something. There's something about British single-seaters around the time things were getting more "streamlined" that had a certain...

Re: Racers insurance

USAC is 7500 deductible, after your primary pays. The deductible is after your out-of-pocket expenses reach 7500 and does not include what other insurance has paid out, so it only really helps in...
