Well, as I see it, 1993 was a VERY good year for Indy car racing. Last week I shared some pictures with you and now I have more for you to see from 1993.
Bobby Rahal won the 1992 CART championship and Emerson Fittipaldi had just won the Indy 500, a week before these photos were taken.
Jacques Villeneuve is shown in his Toyota Atlantic car here. This being the year before he went on into Indy cars. Nigel Mansell and Mario Andretti were teammates who did not get along. There are so many stories here in these photos. One of my favorites is the photo of Mario and Paul Newman. Then we have Carl Haas and his never lit cigar that he always seemed to have. These were the people that made Indy car racing what it is today and I thank them for that.
There are a lot of photos here for you to enjoy! Check them out.
Thanks,

This week we look at Indy cars at the Milwaukee Mile in 1993. These were the good days of Indy car racing with some big names in the field and great competition.
Mario Andretti, Al Unser Jr., Paul Tracy, Rick Mears, Scott Goodyear, Willy T. Ribbs, Danny Sullivan, Bobby Rahal and many other good ones were racing at that time. Plus, we had Nigel Mansell who just finished clinching the Formula 1 championship in 1992!
These were really good times for Indy car that I don't think will ever be equalled again for competition and rivalries!
I'll let the photos do the talking now. Good looking cars and big names to enjoy!
Thanks,

Time to switch my blogs to some Indy car racing photography for my racing fans! Also, because it's almost Indy 500 time!
So, for the next few blogs we are going to be looking at the 1990, Miller Beer 200, CART race at the Milwaukee Mile.
This was a good time for Indy cars with big name drivers. We had and will look at today, Emerson Fittipaldi, Raul Boesel, Arie Luyendyk, Bobby Rahal, Danny Sullivan and A.J. Foyt Jr.
Team owner Roger Penske and his right hand man Teddy Mayer are also shown today. Teddy Mayer was one of the best engineers on the planet, coming from years in Formula 1.
It is interesting to me to see the dashboards of 1990, when now, all information for the driver is on the steering wheel!
Enjoy a look at film roll number one of my collection with more to come next week.
Time for me to mow the grass for the first time now while you look at this!
Thanks,
