By request I am going to skip over 1973 for now and start posting 1974 pictures, this will take awhile as I have quite a few from this year and haven't scanned them all yet.

I like all those pit shots of crews, officials, and helpers.

During its five year run this event was not lucky with the weather. Two events were scheduled for 1974. Without doing further research I'm not even sure if the June event happened or was cancelled due to wind. The September event only ran one of the two scheduled days. A record was set by Tim Briggs.

My Dad was 3rd in UI behind Art Kennedy (pictured with Lou Eppel in the third picture in the previous post) and Clarence Archer. Terry Leatherby probably would have run second or third but he blew his powerhead during the race. My Dad and he rebuilt it in the hotel room to get him back out there for Sunday but the rest of the event was cancelled. This was a 1 hour marathon so the drivers and equipment were all pretty beat up afterwards.

Great shots! Please keep them coming!
