'61 Indy 500

Looks like A.J. Foyt is gonna get his first Indy 500 win......but wait.....the Bowes Seal Fast Special # 1 had a refueling system malfunction......Foyt can't make it to the checkers.....he stops again for fuel.

That gives the win to Eddie Sachs......but wait.....the right rear on the Dean Van Lines Special is showing cords. Will he risk it and stay out. No.......Eddie comes in for new rubber.

Foyt wins his first. And the rest, as they say, is HISTORY. I was excited enough to keep coming back through 2003.
