Comments: | According to Tom, he thinks this is an early shot of Mario Andretti's first pavement Indy Car ride in a Doug Stearly Offy Roadster from 1964. Not sure what's up with the nosepiece... Keep in mind that if this is from 1964, this would be the year that A.J.Foyt would win his 2nd Indy 500 and also the year of the terrible early race crash at Indy that took the lives of Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs. This was also a last year that a front engine car would win at Indy. |

01/27/05 | Jim Tinsman | I believe Mario's first indy car ride was at Langhorne. |
02/05/05 | Beverly | Andretti started 16th, spun, and still finished 11th, eight laps down to Foyt, who won. He did run Langhorne the year before in the Hinnershitz-wrenched Windmill Trucker's/Glessner car |
