clovis Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Being a huge fan of the 500, I love those pics!!!! Those were the days. Granatelli...has there ever been a better marketer in the history of the US? I love the pic of Bobby in the rear engine car.
clovis Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I just watched the slide show...someone is in love with the Unser family, especially uncle Bobby. Would have been nice to have seen pics of Vuky, Wilbur Shaw, Danny Sullivan's Spin-and-Win, Louis Chevrolet, Tom Sneva's 200 MPH qualification, and maybe Foyt punching Cogan, LOL. Thankful that Yahoo didn't run the death-crash photos, like Eddie Sachs and Dave McDonald, Gordon Smiley, Swede Savage, etc. Those pictures are haunting to me.
Greg Myers Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Just finished this http://www.amazon.com/Black-Noon-Year-They-Stopped/dp/1250017777 Good read, I'd recomend it to any 500 fan.
clovis Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 The guys on an Indy Car forum that I frequent are raving about Black Noon. It is on my "Read Sometime Soon" list.
