Alderson had a few cars built that he was going to have some USAC drivers run, but there was not much more in the way of participation so the race was never run.
Seems he had the car on display at a race or two back when he was trying to get the series going (early 90's). |
Keith,
Those (American Spirit Cars) were the cars that did end up being used as Driver School Cars out in Vegas. They were also then part of a CART Driving Experience deal. Sorry for the double answer mac......
Also, If you look close in the movie blockbuster "Driven":rolling they used those Alderson cars for a lot of the driving scenes in that movie when they were not using actuall race footage with the Reynard Chassis. I was with Pac West Racing just prior to that being released.
Not sure if they are still being used in any kind of "driving experience" company today or not.
