I had cropped out the mountains in the background to make it a little more difficult. I guess it was! :p :

I will defer to Phoenix. Miami would have been my first guess anyway, but I remembered seeing all those Nissan banners in previous LV pics.

Thanks will be posting in a minute. I thought Miami because of the Nissan banners. I was heavy into the IMSA GTP's and Nissan signs were everywhere.

Be back in a minute.

You Are Correct Chris. :up:

How things would look if Penske did not have powerful attorneys. He would have Three less wins at Indy.

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...

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.

I thought that was familiar!! :) Really good picture and it was a really nice looking car too - I liked that Lightning when it had a decent paint job....

You got it! It had a Chevy turbo engine for a bit of a twist on the stock block theme....

Ok, let's try something slightly different. This isn't a CART/Champ Car picture, but the driver is a former Indy racer and a legend in dirt racing. I want his name :

Sheldon Kinser

Mihai

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.

New Photo Coming Up.
