Today I thought we would explore my huge interest in race cars. I really like Indy cars in case you haven't noticed.
These photos today begin in 1971 when I photographed Indy Cars on my television! Cars from CART, Champ Car, IRL and even Mika Hakkinens F1 car that was at Elkhart Lake's Road America as a show car are shown here this week.
My favorite is from 1971 before the cars got their wings! After that, I like the CART era cars, when we had big horsepower, with multiple engine suppliers that gave us great sounding engines! Plus, each car looked different, whereas today, the IRL cars look very similar if not the same other than sponsors.
Take a look at a few of them and tell me what your favorite race car was through the years.
Enjoy, and say hi to me at Road America this coming weekend where the Indy cars are finally coming back!!! It's going to be great!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
