101st INDY 500 CARB DAY Friday, May 26st, 2017
Vintage Indy 500 Race Car Show
|
After the Indy Lights race ended, we wandered over to the Museum
east parking lot where long tents were set up, protecting a large
contingent of old Indy 500 cars that were owned by individuals.
We spent an hour walking around looking at them.
Here are some photos, mainly of cars from my favorite era - the
small rear-engined cars before wings.
We also saw Johnny Rutherford and Bobby Unser looking around too.
