1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners

[Jack McCarthy]

damn it would be fun to go back, but running off the records would take a few months to even out the new cars when they dropped thier records 2 seconds running heads up in class trying to get into the eliminator... YEEEHAA it would be too much fun... of course i'd be screwed too when bob shaw dropped my record 2 seconds

It was also a time when some guy with cubic bucks could turn your race car into a lawn ornament with just one pass!

Sorry the post you refer to is for the Springnationals, I was looking for the Indy winners.


Thanks, Paul. My friend broke his engine in the first round of class (bent valve) against a racer with a broken trans. They were busy and could not remember who won.
