\nThis is the original wind-tunnel model that Colin Chapman used to develop his STP sponsored Lotus-Turbine cars driven in the 1968 Indy 500 by Joe Leonard, Art Pollard, and Graham Hill. Joe Henning was behind this shot and used the model as a reference for his May ’68 Hot Rod Magazine cover illustration.

\nDriver Stubby Stubberfield and his riding mechanic Otto Wolfer round turn four during the 1932 Indy 500 in this Joe Henning illustration. Conceived by Art Sparks and Paul Weirick and built by Clyde Adams, the 220” Miller-four powered car was years ahead of its competition in the aero department. Sparks had students at Stanford University do the body design as a class project then talked Gilmore Oil Company into sponsorship only after the car set some speed records a Muroc Dry Lake using their products. Stubby put the car into the race in 25th starting spot after qualifying at a speed of 112.899 mph, seventh fastest of the 40 qualifiers. At the end of the race, the team was awarded a 14th place finish. The image was photographed back in October 1968.

\nIt’s nothing new to have Formula 1 World Champions show up at Indianapolis and go for the gold. Back in 1952 Alberto Ascari tried his hand at the Brickyard, as the Indy race was counted as a World Championship Formula 1 event at that time. Ascari is seen here in a 271” V-12 powered Ferrari being pushed toward pit lane. Danny Oaks and several other drivers helped the Champ set up the chassis and suggested ways for him to navigate the track. In qualifying, Alberto qualified in a respectable 19th starting spot with a speed of 134.308 mph. During the race, he managed to get to lap 41 when the loads on the rear hub flange overstressed it and broke sending the champ into a spin in the North West corner and out of the race. He was awarded a 31st place finish.
\n
\nThis year Formula 1 Champion Fernando Alonso was in a six-car shootout to make the final row of the 2019 race but didn’t make it.

\nGene Force drove this Brown Motor Company-owned and entered Kurtis-Kraft KK2000 in the 1951 Indy 500. The car was painted brown, naturally, and had white and gold accents. Under the nonexistent hood lurked a 270\" Offy. Gene qualified the car in the 22nd starting position and soldiered through the 142nd lap only to lose oil pressure and be credited with an 11th place finish. This scan was from a delaminated, but saved, negative shot by my Grandfather.

\nA happy Gaston Chevrolet and his mechanician John Bresnahan are all smiles after qualifying sixth for the 1920 Indy 500 at a speed of 91.55 mph. The entrant was William Small Company and the car was called a Monroe. It was built by the Chevrolet brother's Frontenac concern and featured a new-for-this-year 183\" 4-cylinder engine. At the end of 500 miles, the team was even happier as they came home in first place at an average speed of 88.16 mph.

\nWe are sorry to report that Hot Rodding legend Bruce Crower passed away on July 18, 2019. His first go-fast machine was a motorscooter at age 13. After many more toys and a stint in the Air Force, Bruce moved to San Diego. In ’54 he showed up at Bonneville with his Hudson Commodore stuffed with a Supercharged Chrysler Hemi and proceeded to take first in class with a speed of 157.34 and went on to set a new class record of 151.91 mph. In 1955 he opened his speed emporium and never looked back. In this photo we see his June 1960 Hot Rod magazine cover car at Indy that year with one of the first Chevy V8’s to show at the Speedway. Run as the Helse special, the red car failed to qualify. His Cams, Rods, Cranks and other innovations live on. RIP.

\nThis is the first real Watson race car and was built for John Zink. Zink wanted ’55 winner Bob Sweikert to drive it in the '56 500 but a falling out between the two resulted in Pat Flaherty getting the ride and winning the 500 and starting the Watson built car Dynasty. For ’57 Jud Larson was elected to drive this car and was bumped from the field. For ’58 the car was rebuilt for Larson again and he qualified it in 19th starting spot and was flagged home in 8th after completing all 200 laps in the race. It’s seen in Glendale, California before its trip to the Speedway that year. What’s special about this car was it was 260 lbs lighter than the ’55 winning Kurtis that it was a copy of thanks to an aluminum nose and tail plus magnesium hood, cowl and side panels.
