Not sure if it is the Plymouth or Offy version
Indy???

Pretty cool looking car - although I have to say it does not look all that effective (and I guess it wasn't)....

You got it! I think it's the Plymouth version, but I'm not 100% sure.

I remember how my heart sank when his injuries were announced. I knew that would probably end the career of one of the sports great racers and gentlemen.

you've got it...

yes, I remember feeling that way too. I have to confess that I find it interesting how much punishment that these machines and their drivers can take - but it is also very sobering how fragile they can be as well.....

your turn!!

Alexamateo is the closest. The year is 1966 and the car is a Gerhardt-Offy. Wrong track and driver.

Bonus points for naming the two gentlemen to the driver's right.

Great Photo. :up:

Had to enlarge it to see who the two men were. Virgil Grissom bought a Corvette from Jim Rathman owner of the 76 car. But I did not know Grissom and Cooper were part owners in the same car. Very Cool that a pair of Mercury "7" astronauts were involved in the sport we love.

Wasn't Danny S. doing CART TV back then? Can't remember if he took the car out for a test-drive as part of the track description segment of the broadcast.

Anyway, here's the next pic. I have a feeling that Phoenixent might get this one...

Yes Danny was doing TV reporting back then. Not like now were we have to listen to non-winners and non-open wheel racers talk all race long. Back then they had annoucers that won a Champ Car race. :)

You are correct on the photo. I kind of felt bad for Sospiri. He was a F3000 champ in 95, but then moved up to F1 with perhaps the worst car in recent history - the MasterCard Lola.

I liked having Danny in the booth. However, for me the CART/CCWS driver turned commentator that I miss the most is Parker Johnstone. I thought he did a great job of explaining the technical and engineering side of racing. He could put it in terms that an "average" person could understand, yet not sound like he's talking to a preschooler.

Sospiri ended up with a dog in CART also. But in all due fairness the Toyota was the dog powerplant. I believe the Eagle would have scored better if it had a Honda in it.

I agree with you on Parker Johnstone wish he was back at least CC announcers are sightly better than IRL announcers but both series are junk.

New Photo coming up.

Unique photo of a driver that only ran 3 races. Liike his helmet reminds me of Snake Oiler's helmet from Speed Racer. :)

I was going to comment on his helmet, but couldn't find the right words - you nailed it! Gotta love the Car Acrobatics Team.
