Had the great pleasure of being a photographer for the Vintage Indy Reserve Organization at Road America last weekend. It is an organization that tries to preserve, recognize and keep track of all vintage Indy cars.

This was the second year that these cars ran at Road America with the Indy Cars. They were on the track for only one session each day for 30 minutes. Actually, they only got to go out for two sessions because the vintage cars do not run in the rain and it poured Sunday afternoon!

The sessions this year included a Mini Cooper pace car driven by Al Unser Jr. who also got to drive his old Domino's Pizza Indy Car! I got photos of him getting out of the pace car after the one pace lap and getting into the Domino's Pizza car.

Little Al ran only one lap in the Domino's Pizza car and I never got to photograph him driving it. Can only move so fast!

Some Omologato watch awards were presented to Rick Dresang for his 30 years of service and to Al Unser Jr.!

It was a fun time with all these folks.  My next blog will be on the Indy Cars that ran last weekend.

Thanks,
