It's not Hiro. Hiro has some yellow on his helmet, and his 97 car had "Denso" on the winglets instead of Robby Gordon's 98 car that had "MCI" on the winglet endplate.
Also, the Avex Group's "a" symbol was on the front wing elements on Hiro's 97 car.
EDIT: I'm a little slow coming back to this thread. =)

Your Turn.
Great photo - it took me a little while - I was pretty sure it was Trenton since it looks like NJ trees in the "winter" and the big wings looks like 1972..... That track looks like it was areal hole in the ground.....
Here the next one - sorry nothing exciting - I am going through a series of photos I found and put on my photobucket page a while back.... (remember no peeking at the file name!!) :p :

I had an old Car and Driver as a kid and this is what I remember. The article said that AJ had the aging Coyote out on the track running 197's, but Parnelli had brought the car out with AJ in mind (I guess he wanted to sell him some new cars) He convinced AJ to give it a go and AJ went out and qualified fastest on the second day. They broke something in the motor on the second lap, but were reportedly all smiles. He ran it on the ovals the rest of that year (He won at Silverstone in the Coyote.) He won the pole at Trenton, and was second at Phoenix and led every race with it.
He won 5 races in the Parnelli in '79 and finished second at Indy, albeit against less than full fields due to the first split.
The Parnelli was probably the fastest non-ground effects car. The last ones to qualify were at Indy in '81 and George Snider was fastest in AJ's Parnelli Backup (The others were Tony B and Vern Schuppan in Mclarens and Ton Klausler in a Schkee?) Tim Richmond actually drove the car in the race after buying it from Foyt. (PS This was the first race I ever went to :) )
Danny Ongais was also very fast in the Parnelli.
cool - thanks for the background... Yeah, the Parnelli was a good car - pretty much a converted F-1 car like the M-24 McLaren and Penske PC-6... When you consider it debuted in 1976, it had a long shelf life....

Foyt was offered the car and the rest is history. Carl Hungness listed one car as a new built 1980 car but don't know if that's correct.

I want to say David Besnard in a Reynard at Surfer's 2004 but is that PKVracing logo supposed to be there? Did KK somehow "help" Besnard to that ride?
Besnard tested for PKV earlier that summer and then KK put him in the Walker car. Nice move since it set way for Team Australia the following year.
You are Correct Civic. :up:Quote:

Your Turn.
Sorry it's small but I had to crop out the other cars.

2002
Wrong year.
sorry, they didn't do Laguna in 2002, so then it would be 2001.
Despite the front wing it is 2001. Your turn.
try this one
