    WOW! What a great gathering of old racing iron. Thanks so much for posting all the pics.
     
  2. Great stuff. The only thing would have made it better is if was on 1/2 mile dirt.:)

  4. yep. the track was too big for the older stuff. even from the infield tower stands, you could only see so much and it took a long time for them to come around especially compared to the ghost or the modern indy cars.

  14. if you notice in the back ground of the pictures, there were not a lot of fans in the bleaches. it was a really good event that nobody knew about.

    That was exactly my thought. I would have tried to attend if I had known about it. Will they be doing this again in the future or was it a one time thing?

  16. I am not sure. I heard rumors that indy was not coming back to Pocono next year. never thought about what happens the days before a race, and it is much cheaper to attend.

  17. Neato!

    Hope the crash wasn't too bad???

  18. none of the old stuff crashed, it was a crash the next day, on lap one of the indy race. I think 8 cars were involved. which equates to about 8 million dollars.

    I was once a big fan of Champ car racing, and I know the competition is still close, but I miss seeing my favorite sprint car pilots in the cockpit. This pre-race event looks like great fun, and it looks like some of those sprint car drivers attended also. Thanks again for posting the pics.
     
  21. Great stuff!! Thanks for taking us along.:)
