I haven’t really followed the Indy 500 for many many years, but this morning I was watching the news and saw a few seconds of footage from the finish of this years race. I got to thinking of the cars that made an impression on me when I really looked forward to the Memorial Day race every year. I figured I’d go ahead and throw up some pictures of my favorite cars.

I still remember the Offenhauser powered cars that dominated thru the 50 and early 60s which I always thought were so beautiful.




and I was blown away with the Lotus that won in 65 (even had a slot car of that one when I was a kid)




And then there was the STP Turbine car that came soooo close to winning in 67…..that caused quite an uproar as I remember.



Anyway I hope everybody’s having a good holiday.
