Re: Vintage pics taken @ Indy in '69
Something else noticed. Are we sure this is Indy 500 raceday in the first 2 pictures? Looks like a trail of stock cars in the 1st picture. And quite empty grandstands as well.
Cool photos Erik. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Vintage pics taken @ Indy in '69
Definitely not Indy cars but I never saw a Nascar race where they had headlights on either !!! Maybe drying the track

Re: Vintage pics taken @ Indy in '69
That's right. The track is wet in the 1st 2 photos but not in the remainder of them. Does it look like the same track??

Re: Vintage pics taken @ Indy in '69
It definitely looks like two different days. Everything looks dry in the second set of pics. That field of cars almost looks like it could be a parade of Camaros.

They could be following Charley with his Never Lost set-up

Re: Vintage pics taken @ Indy in '69
69 Indy 500 side note: Rain delayed Pole day on Sat the 17th. Only one car made an attempt for the pole, rookie Jigger Sirois. His team waved off the run because it was too slow, in their opinions to qualify (160-162). Rain started after his run and no others attempted to qualify. Had his team taken the run he would have won the pole!
 If also rained on Sunday and thus pole day was moved to the next weekend. AJ takes the pole with a speed of 170 and change. Poor Jigger didn't make the race in 69 nor in any of his other 6 attempts. Lowest qualifying speed to make the field in 69 - 160.851.
