If I figured this here computer out...... am a fan of front engined indy roadsters especially 64-65 ( the wide tires ) and USAC 60's sprint cars especially the roadster sprinters like the Wacholz Ford #80 and Eldon Rasmussen's #88 and I hate wings on sprint cars.Also a big fan of the inboard hydroplanes especially the 7-litres from the '60s on.Had a couple copies of andy Granatelli's U.S.Auto Racing News from 1964 which covered everything from go-karts to Bonneville but mostly USAC, sure wish I had them now,does anyone remember that magazine?Mostly a fan of the obscure field fillers ;ike #77 Dayton Disc Brake Spl. and my second most favorite Indy car ever #62 Apache Airlines Spl. what a great website.

glad you could make it. i love the inboard hydros as well. we had a family friend that raced a 266 f class? the name "miss median bluegrass" from your other post brings back good memories.  my favorite 7 litre was a boat called "long gone" . duane |

Welcome, glad you got square rooted on the computer. Check out Cal's Apache Air WIP. Speaking of hydros, computers and computer incompetence, 'stsld' sent me some photos of Eddie Sachs driving a unlimited hydro to post here. Needless to say I'm still working on scanning them. I hope to get them up this weekend as I'm reading "Computers for Neanderthals and Other Adults From the Stone Age".

Welcome to the board. Any fan of roadsters and non-wing sprint cars is OK by me. Speaking of "non-wing" sprint cars, I'm reminded of something sprint car driver Gordon Cole told me one time. He said, "There's no such thing as a non-wing sprint car. There's sprint cars and winged sprint cars." Amen!
