Looks like a 1973 Eagle with a tumor on it.

EXTREMELY RARE PHOTO!

That was the second Gene White entry, (I REFERED TO) that was driven by Cale Yarborough at the Speedway to 10th. He was the slowest qualifier but still faster than Peter Revson in 1971, the pole sitter.

Ok, but who is the driver and track then - did this second entry make it to Phoenix??

Guys, for what it is worth - I went back to the archives and we actually never actually figured out this car - we just sort of moved on. The problem was that the number on the car never jived with anything in 1972 or 1973 in the era of big wings. It was more or less agreed that the car must be the Tipke but that is where it was left....

According to some it is Tom Sneva in the Tipke-Offy at a PIR test in April of 1973 as the March race was flooded out and cancelled.

The car ran at TWS as #39, they put #41 for this PIR test around the 18th of April and then went back to #39 for Indy. A driver was killed in this test.

The car has a Foyt engine in it and now looks like the #5 Ruby car of 1972.

I wrote about the Atlantas 30 years ago and we lost track of the #5 car. I was told a day or two ago it was sold to someone in the Northwest. That car could very well have become that Supermodified also.

The #41 number in 1973 was a Vel's Parnelli Jones Back up number, #4 Al Unser, #1 Leonard.

For what it is worth it was a car very rarely seen and in the case of the #5, if it is not the #41 then it disappeared in to the Cascade mountains.

I am going to say this once and not debate it, the orange 41 car is the Tipke car.
If you think otherwise, then tell Jim Tipke it is not his car.

Not disagreeing but it already had race when that picture was taken. That is the issue, with a different number and a whole different look and when it arrived at the Speedway it looked like it did at TWS.

Lot of work to get to square one.

Let's move on, put up another car.

As for the Pankratz car - I am looked and looked and I cannot find anything about that spcifically - I am going to take a wild guess and say Luije Lesovsky - but I imagine I am wrong.....
