Sorry to hear about Blackie. He sure was a dedicated fixture in the sport. Always had great equipment with more than capable drivers. He will be missed.

Didn't the nose of Blackies' Champ car have lettered something like..."This is a Real Race car, we don't race on parking lots!"

He did have some good looking stuff. Here's a few I snapped back at the time. Schrader driving. Eldora and the Indy mile, champ dirt cars.

"This is a REAL champ car. It doesn't race on streets, parking lots or airports".
I had a photo of it but haven't seen it in years. If I find it I'll post it. What a great line!
