Oh my goodness, no honor required. I'm like everyone else on this website, I'm old (82) and I like to see the photos and hear the stories from "back in the day" just like you do. One more thing about that 4-wheel steering, front wheel drive Indy Car. Mickey purchased a used Oldsmobile Toranado for some research into 4-wheel steering. He mounted a "steerable" rear end system on the Olds chassis and drove it around on the street to see how it felt. He let me drive it around the block a few times and it was just such a weird feeling. Like Sammy, I couldn't wait to get out of the Olds myself. Mickey had built two Indy cars for that year (I think it was 1966). The 4 wheel steering car and a normal mid-engine rear wheel drive car. Neither car qualified. Both cars were to be using a Small Block Chevy engine with 3-valve cylinder heads, two intake valves and one exhaust valve. Me with an****embled engine, in that back lot at Mickey's shop. Screwing around with it during****embly. The engine was pretty exotic, but it had major issues and never lived up to expectations. Although it may look like a Dual Overhead Cam engine, it used a single cam in the stock location, with some very strange pushrod angles and rocker arms...
