Road America
Right driver
wrong track
year? and car?
keep digging
I have no clue. That car was raced years before I was even born. So any year before 1989.
wow - do I feel like an old timer now :( I have 20 years on you and I thought I was still "young" :D
Anyhow, glad to have younger fans that don't remember much before the great schism..... shows maybe AOWR is not totally helpless at this time...
Anyhow - if you are interested in digging some more I'll give you some hints (and some idea of how I look at these pictures when I have no clue what I am looking at):
1. photo is not much older than you
2. This was (as near as I can tell) the second to last CART appearance for Ongais.
3. Since it is in the 80's you can pretty much safely guess either Lola or March and be right 90% of the time
4. Since it does not have a push rod (someone correct me if I have that term wrong/backwards) it narrows down the car type down
5. It doesn't have a pointy roll bar (big clue to what year car it is NOT once you figure out the above suspension thing).
6. It is a pretty slick looking car and looks like the tub and bodywork are one and the same - another clue to general time....
Good luck - I don't know about everyone else but I have fuin following little clues like these....
