Parnelli Jones?

From what I just found I would say it Is Jim Clark in an early 1968 (late 1967??) test - I never knew he drove that car - good find Phoenix!! (if that is right let ykiki have it - he got it first...)

Oh yeah, I agree. I thought it was Phoenix who said it wasn't Clark...it's from a test in "spring" 1968 where Clark and Jones were present.

Jim Clark drove the Lotus 56 at Indianapolis March of 1968 during a test with STP. Parnelli Jones was there also in the Paxton Turbine. Sadly Clark died a month later.

This is my first submission (and I'm afraid the scan didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped). I correctly guessed the Charles Nearburg picture a couple weeks ago, but between losing power for several days and then the holidays, I never submitted a photo. So, guessing Jim Clark gives me a second chance. My appologies, and a Happy New Year to all.

speaking of learning thing - I got two AWESOME racing books for Christmas - one was the autobiography by Dr. Steve Olvey - one of the chief people behindthe CART medical team - very insightful and interesting... I am having a hard time judging if I want to take everything as fact he seems a little full of himself at times - but at other points he seems very down to earth..... a worthwhile read for any CART fan....

also, for those of you who have spent time at Rumbledrome - I got "King of the Boards" - the book by Gary Doyle about Jimmy Murphy and his era. Really cool - lots of pictures. According to my wife when you call to order the book you actually talk to Gary - she said he sounded a little disappointed that she was a racing fan's wife (an not an actual fan) so he couldn't really chew the fat with her too much :)

They did. Al Unser won the pole @ 170.221 in 1970
Peter Revson was on pole @ 178.696 in 1971
Bobby Unser won the pole @ 195.940 in 1972

That year Cale Yarborough (Yes, the NASCAR driver) was 33rd fastest @ 178.864, so the pole winning speed in 1971 would not have qualified in 1972 :eek: :)

I don't have much it DNQ at Indy due to a lack of speed the fastest lap was 149 mph. The chassis has two Lancia gearboxes (one for each engine), aluminum bodywork and the engines were mounted forward of the wheels on both the ends. Huffaker is still in business making chassis. Came across their site looking a restored Huffaker with MG liquid suspension. Those cars were at Indy 1964 to 1966 just wonder where the Porsche powered one is at now.

It was held in the end of August in what is basically a low desert area. Temps had to be about 115 digress maybe more.

I know about 1981 - what other wins would he not have??

I thought I read somewhere that the bottom line in the 1981 case was that Andretti didthe same thing (passing under yellow while blending in) that Unser did so they would both get penalized and the finishing order would bethe same.... (not taking sides here...)

back in a minute with a picture...

Chris
The Indy 500's in question were 1972 with Mark Donohue. USAC was scoring Gary Bettenhausen as Donohues car and there was a difference in laps and Parnelli team thought that Donohue was behind. Penske backed by Goodyear was declared the winner at midnight. Al Unser would have to wait 6 years before No.3 win.

The last one was 2002 with Paul Tracy. Everyone was shocked by the final ruling no matter if it was right or wrong. Never heard that a team could not appeal a win if there was a scoring error.

Phoenixent

Yes, it's the late Sheldon Kinser! :up:
I noticed his name while I was doing some research on the Pete Hasmer picture and it rang familiar to me, because I enjoy dirt racing too. Motors TV is broadcasting these days a World of Outlaws event in New Zealand and there are two members of the Kinser family in the race (including Sheldon's cousin, Steve).

Here's a truly amazing fact about Sheldon Kinser's Indy career :
Six time starter of the Indianapolis 500, [...] Sheldon had never driven a rear engine car or raced on pavement until he quailified 26th and finished 12th in the 1975 Indianapolis 500.

It was a little bit of a brain tweak with so many Champcar/Sprint car drivers. I was reading an article about Kinser and he was an amazing driver. So many drivers back then came from dirt track backgrounds even 2 time CART Champ Al Unser Jr. Imagine how many it would be now if USAC had went to the rear engine sprinters.

Story goes that Parnelli Jones had a the press at Phoenix for the unveiling and Al Unser drove it first on track. He pulled back in and he was white as a ghost according to Mario. Unser then told them tell the press the car broke as it is junk and would not drive it again until it was changed. After the changes it was a competitive car in 1972.
