A.J. Foyt sets on the pole and finishes 2nd. in his upright Dirt car racing with all of the rear engine cars. What a Day,What a Driver!!

1977 500 when Foyt won his 4th. I went camping in the U.P. in Michigan and it was cold. 9 hrs north of Indy. Listened on radio that day and haven't missed a 500 since.

A) Great topic!
B) Fast Freddy Rahmer beating WoO from back row at WG (2009?) I have the video, but they don't show Freddy till he's close to the lead
C) I know, its a wing race. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive me?

These are the stories I grew up on. My parents followed the champ cars everywhere back then. Dad raced go karts and some stock car and TQ stuff but they loved the champ cars. The whole reason I love open wheel dirt racing so I would love have seen any of them.

1911 Indianapolis 500. Hopefully my time machine gets there early enough to place some side bets. Gotta remember to pack my telephone so i can tweet updates from the track and post complaints about track conditions all the way home

When Ricky Bobby passed Cole Trickle driving backwards to win Daytona..
