Geoff. yes as soon as I get time I will rereview all like you suggest. Our CD has a lot of trailer footage if I recall and I will review that as well! Would be interesting to see if any Indy 500 historians that like all years have info on how many times these old cars were trailered etc... This certainly wasn't the first or last year that these white trailers took these old racers out of the Museum for a spin in the sunshine ( rain actually )

Would be interesting if they pulled 10 trailers total.. that would be no small coincidence for the reported 10 Camaros made available to The Track for use

Geoff - I had lost track of this activity as it left the main page. The pictures and homework look terrific Tom. I have been really busy at work and hope to review more of the video detail shortly.

OK I finally got to review the DVD produced by David Parr. There is some excellent footage of the trailer cars as well as the festival cars in there. It all starts at Chapter five near dead bang from 21:00 in case your looking for it. Unfortunately while looking at in on a lap top it is very hard to pause and also to view due to size. BUT I did get to sort out a few more drivers , and race car info. Please bear in mind some of this may not be entirely 100% correct. I have included as many details as I can so that if future photos turn up we might be able to identify the pace car , race winner , trailer or race car easily. I have updated my earlier post below;

I believe in time with better ways of viewing this footage we will be able to sort this out more and hopefully get the missing pace car numbers as well.

Geoff - The 16MM 1967 Indy 500 film may also be able to fill in some gaps.
