That's Lee Brayton in an Eagle-Offy 1974 @ Michigan, and the fun fact about the car is that not only was it purchased from Pat Patrick, it is Gordon Johncock's 1973 Indy 500 winning car. If you say you've seen the car in the Indy museum, you're wrong. The museum only has a replica, and it's actually a '74 ,model Eagle.
Correct Driver, and Car. :up:Quote:

Keep Digging on the last two items.

I have a black and white photo of the Lotus at Milwaukee that year. I believe Dan Gurney drove a white Lotus for that race.
Lets say (guess!!) Ontario, 1973, Lee BRayton, Eagle -Offy.....
oh no - we were in danger of getting kicked off the front page!!
Since I am sure everyone is busy with summer stuff - here is a freebie while we are waiting for Phoenix to confrim (or not) my last answer....
just something I foundthat is apparently a historic racing photo....

that is all I have on the Al Unser shot - I'll see if I can find the web site it came from again.....
Ok, as for Brayton, I'll go with Alex's observation thatyou seemto have an awful lot of shot of Phoenix and say it is Phoenix..... (I don't think I have too many more tracks left to guess atthis point!!) :D
Nope not Phoenix. :DQuote:

boy - I don't really deserve to get this one!!
well, the only other 1 mile track on the schedule that year was Milwaukee (I was thinking Trenton was more like Pocono - but it was a mile and a half....)
I guess one of these days I am going to have to wander up to Trenton to vist the NJ State sculpture garden and see if there is any sign that it was once a race track.....
You are Correct it was Trenton. :up: :bounce:Quote:

Your Turn.
yeah, you have a point about today's drivers - I think our sport has become a little too technology/let the car do the work for you centered sometimes - although I suppose at today's speeds that is probably necessary....
I still can't believe Marco Andretti parked a bad handling car once or twice this year - I'll bet Mario the race car driver (not the grandfather) was not happy about that!!
Anyway - here we go....
Jim Hurtubise #88 Kuzma-Offy
Mel Kenyon #21 Lesovsky-Offy
Ralph Liquori Epperly Offy
Langhorne 1965
Alex has it. This came for the Mel Kenyon tribute site - it is part of a sequence of photos. Overall a nice site worth checking out...

Your turn!!
Here's the next one! The usual please.
I think that is Dan Gurney and Mike Mosley flanking Steve Chassey (in car) in a 1981 Eagle-Chevy. I am gonna guess Indy....
You got it already. I didn't think it would be too hard, but I really liked the picture. It's Steve Chassey's rookie test. Also, the one you posted before was nice and difficult. I wasn't thinking 1965 would be a year with just front-engined cars in the photo. Nice site btw. You're up!Quote:

I thought the picture I posted was kind of neat but a little disturbing at the same time - seeing Kenyon slumped over the wheel and all of the fuel pouring out and what not - but since his fans posted it I figured it was not in too bad of taste...
ok - here's another from the waay back machine
Driver- Al Miller
Year- 1941
Car- Miller RE4D-Miller SC
Track- Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Phoenix has it - the American Auto-Union.... From everything I have read it was a neat car that was never properly sorted out and ultimately was Harry Miller's only utter failure as a racing car....
Cool Photo. :up:Quote:

New Photo Coming Up.

Herm Johnson
Milwaukee
1984
March 84C-Cosworth...
I remeber him in an Eagle - didn't remember the March.... So whatever became of Herm Johnson anyway?
Also, in terms of big losses to AOWR - Menards supported AOWR for a long time and now he is gone.....
Hey, my 1,000th post was about Herm Johnson???? :eek:
That just doesn't see quite right :burnout:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herm_Johnson
He's a custom painter of race cars, helmets etc.
Congrats on post #1000 Chris! :bounce:
You are Correct. :bounce:Quote:
