Jim Hurtubise was indeed the last of the diehard Roadster faithful! Even has his driver name on the cockpit.  Great homage to his memory.

Hurtubise was once in a crash that burned his hands.  He insisted to the doctor that they be shaped to allow him to hold a steering wheel.

Late in his career he entered Indy but couldn't find any sponsorship.  He dragged his old roadster on an open trailer to the tech line anyway with a new "Coors Six Cylinder" sign on the hood.  The tech crew open the hood to find it empty except for a six-pack of (you guessed it).

Beautiful clean builds Phil, and great photos.  Poor Greg, he was one of my favorites at the time, always on the edge like he had one tooth more in his gearbox than anyone else.
