I could never remember his name, but the picture of him coming down the straight-away on some pavement track... Mustache a blowin' in the breeze, is still a vivid memory!! Cool Pics!!:thumb

Crankin, that guy's mustache has about a 3 ft. wingspan huh? :O:
Here's more about Milt from a guy named "indyrjc" over on the trackforum messege board.

BTW, you have one photo under "80's Dirt Champs" that is captioned as "Bob Cicconi and friend". That "friend" was a guy named Milt Harper and he actually drove an Indianapolis car in practice for a race at Pocono. In addition to being a photographer Milt had some very limited midget experience in (I think) BCRA and some SCCA runs as well. In 1980 he somehow got the officials to let him practice in the old Antares Indy Car for the Pocono 500. He never even got a chance to attempt to qualify as the Offy engine in the car blew up before he could really get up to any kind of speed. How they even accepted his entry is still a mystery. He must have brought some money of his own and CART must have really thought that they needed cars is all that I can figure.
