That's some good stuff right there. Thanks for posting.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt the format they used back then for today. Would make for some good racing, that's for sure.

Maybe IWO.com member Vern Plotts can share a few if he chooses to.

Jerry told me, they had the number 14, before AJ did. Looking at that list, returns old memories, and those that are gone, some didn't go, in the most choice means, as I remember, Bobby Black, died on I65, in a fiery car crash, burned up in it. Bob

40 years have past and we are still chasing that Fox 53 ....... :doh:

76 Mike Johnson = Dave Hurst

Dad didn`t remember the race but he could name all but about 4 or 5 of the car owners who were there.

There is one other car owner who is still active in the bunch . Can anyone guess ? ( Hint : the car number is 6 )

Ok, he was the painter, did the pits at Indy, as well as pin striping and signs. You is right! Bob

I think I missed something here as to how the reference to the painter came about, but it sounds like you're talking George Gruber or Dale Burton here.:doh:
