Re: Welcome To Indy!
1966.....Flat towed to Indy with my '58 Pontiac and had various tow vehicle issues out and back.....
I/SA '57 Chevy sedan delivery 283/220- Hydro
Car ran high 14's in NJ air but not at Indy !
Got Class r/up
The Winner got DQed and then so did me and my partner.....last car thru the barn at the finishline area...
The DA tower was there.....got lots of free stuff....Oil, STP, shirts, sparkplugs
Stayed at a Motel that included a garage for every room.....
One T/F car did not smoke the tires all the way down....he must have figured out how to slip the clutch without it blowing up
The ride home was long and everyone was asleep but me driving. I was barely awake by the time we got into NJ...….
Got home safe....700+ miles...…
Hard to forget that one.....
