Here are a few that my mom had in an old photo album......My mom, dad, uncle and aunt made the trip from Portsmouth, Ohio to Indy in 1966. My mom told me that they slept under an underpass on the the way there, and back. She also said my dad was pissed because they went the day they only had time trials! I know they aren't "in motion", but hopefully you will enjoy them anyway!

JC, you say Clayton was Killed? what happened?
A while back I gave him a movie reel I took at the NHRA Springnationals in Ohio many years ago. It was footage of "the New Dimension" car crashing in the lights.

I thought he was killed in a plane crash?? He was a real runner, pushed the drag racing frontiers in all directions....

JC, is that Glenn Mikres on the far right?

JC Sparks · 11-24-2010, 07:36 AM

No, that is Mark Buchanan of Bo Mar Industries in Indianapolis. JC

**Magnus** · 11-24-2010, 08:21 AM

Thanks, He sure did look like Mikres to me but my memory is wage. Mikres gave a few friends of mine their first lessons in nitro racing back in the 90's, just after Pisano passed away I think.
