Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Lola T332:

Judging from my own pics, this shot was taken at Rd Atlanta in 1975 - before it rained........

Lola T332:

Mario Andretti was Al Unser's team mate for the 1975 F5000 season. This pic was taken during the race and Al won, beating Mario handily.

The race-start was delayed because of a deluge and official feared the competing USAC drivers couldn't cope with the wet surface. Ironic and way cool that a USAC driver took the victory.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone smoke or even buy a pack of Viceroys

Ford 332

Tipo 33/2

I know there is wisdom in "don't race a payment", does this count when using a student loan to buy a race car?

Years ago, I ran in a BFG-sponsored solo event; everyone drove MX6 turbo's on R1 Comps. They sent me out for my last run on the first day on tires that looked just like that.

The organizers decided to award me the "Most Aggressive Driver" award. Gee, I wonder why the car looked, ummm, twitchy?

I do believe that the picture of the guy lying down is Rolf, the mechanic that was riding along with Dean.
