Watching guys like Foyt, Rutherford, Andretti, Johncock and all the rest was the biggest thrill of the summer for a kid.... Also had the misfortune of watching one of the last ever single hoop roll bar sprint races around here when Jerry Blundy got killed..... USAC mandated full cages the next season. All the old guys complained cuz they just didn't look like sprint cars when they had to run the full cage....just like the guys of my generation bitched when they put wings on sprint cars..... When you're young and invincible, safety is really not an issue!!!!

\Thanks for the pics Dave!!!!! As for the accountant and taxes deal, my appointment is next week....yuck!!!!!
Dave,
It is an Offy powered USAC Dirt Champ Car - and was driven by the likes of Lloyd Ruby and Jim Hurtibise among the listed drivers according to the spec sheet that was with it - I should have taken a picture of that sheet as well - ya know - CRS strikes again!! I'll take a picture of that sheet the next time - and I got asked and might even start volunteering to work there later this year.

As far as the taxes - he just got the paperwork, but since I don't 'work' shouldn't be too bad as one of my investments tanked.
