Radials leak oil. Take that, tailgaters!

Good crowd

 

The first photos looks to be the car of John Hollansworth at Phoenix in 1966. I believe this is the ex-Jimmy Bryan Metal Cal car built by George Salih. Years later Hollansworth's son of the same name raced in the Indy Racing League for a few years.

The other photo shows someone using the Magnaflux process to check for cracks in an Offy crankshaft.

Thanks, Rootie.

 

Hollansworth and some local (Colo) racers along with Junior Knepper put together this low-buck team for 66. They only ran a limited amount but didn't really do too bad considering they were on a shoestring budget with a outdated machine.

Mom must have got fed up of him walking around with his hands in his pockets. Or taken off to patch something else.

Hard times.

That was 40 years ago....you old timers need to catch up

 

Yo Vinnie ! Your so cool ......

The first photo could be any town now with the lock down going on.

This one looks like the idiots on Spring Break now down at Florida ignoring the new rules.

 

I think that was the infield at Indy before it was tamed.

 

HAHAHA!!
