Leaving the Pits Posted 27 February 2011 10:20 PM
New '69 Indy 500 vintage photos found!!! My friend Bob Flaugher, the father of Randy who ran my museum, showed me his photos from when he went to the '69 Indy 500. He was with a relative who had a media pass, so was able to get some awsome photos. I about had a stroke when I started going through the pics! Stay tuned as I will be posting soon!

Supporter Victory Lane Ok.. these are absolutely awesome! This is the kind of thing us 67 guys have been collecting for years now.. GREAT to see not much changed for 69!
Festival 69's don't pop up very often and the lack of a credible registry on them makes it hard to track them.. they sure are pretty!
I always thought TT stood for " Track Tour "

Supporter Victory Lane Time trials.. yes possibly.. but time trials were a week before the race?
The rear view numbers are in fact new to me and exciting. I wonder if anyone else knows anything about them?
