1950 #61 Indy car with Cummins sponsorship, and diesel engine:

They returned in '52, and took pole with this:

Unfortunately, turbocharging was in it's early years, and the one on this car failed due to tire rubber clogging the compressor inlet.

The best damn garage in Daytona. This was the painted name of his garage in Daytona. RIP

 

                       I was tickled when I read an article on him in "Stock Car Racing" magazine.

He owned a Ford Fiesta,& said it was his favorite car.

And the Infamous Novi V8 Indy engine. 

Run from early '40s, to 1965, and along the way killed several drivers due to the peaky power band.

Many later drivers refused to drive a car with this engine, as the boost from the Paxton blower would come on hard at high rpm, and break the tires loose.

And if one was good, then 4 is better, right ?
