    FAST FACT During the tire building process, heat and pressure are applied to form the tire in a process known as vulcanizing. This transformation process is named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. Here in Birmingham, there is a 56-foot statue of Vulcan that overlooks downtown from Red Mountain. Confetti flies in Victory Lane following the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach as podium finishers (and Penske teammates) Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves celebrate with winner Scott Dixon. Chris Owens/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: DIXIE DOES IT: Scott Dixon (right) had just one top- five finish in eight starts at Long Beach entering last weekend’s race, but when the checkered flag flew on Sunday he came away a victor, earning his 36th overall race win and breaking a tie for fifth with Bobby Unser on the all-time Indy car wins list. Can Dixon carry the winning momentum from the West Coast to Barber Motorsports Park? PENSKE LOOKS TO CONTINUE BARBER DOMINATION: Team Penske has won three of the previous five Verizon IndyCar Series races at Barber Motorsports Park and team owner Roger Penske will look to add another trophy to his team’s collection during the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with a strong four- car stable that has been dominant through the first three races of the season. HUNTER-REAY GOES FOR ALABAMA HAT TRICK: Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay is the only driver to keep Team Penske out of victory lane at Barber Motorsports Park with his back-to-back wins at the track in 2013 and 2014.

    1 February, 2018 Join us at the next club meeting, February 18, 3:00pm at Landmark Ford in Tualatin. Shop tour to Aldridge Motorsports Denny and Pam Aldridge threw out the welcome mat for SAAC NW on Feb 3rd and we had a great time. From the awesome line-up of engines on display as we walked in, the historical photos on the walls, and Ludicrous Speed Racing’s AC Cobra still on display, there was a lot to see! Denny intro- duced us to Jim and Hank Bothwell, both members of the Ludicrous team, as he talked about racing the gold Holman & Moody mustang and the Cobra in vintage racing events. Lots of questions kept Denny busy for a good portion of the time. We reluctantly had to leave for lunch, 30 minutes later than planned. Thank you Pam and Denny for hosting our group. It was a FUN event !! 2 3 Dan Gurney’s recent passing brought about a lot of great tributes. This is a quick historical review of the impact he had on auto racing. Created back in 2014. This film was shown at the Edison-Ford Medal Tribute presentation to Mr. Gurney. I enjoyed it a lot!. Catch it HERE. A quick Google search for “Dan Gurney cars” brought back a crazy long list of cars he drove “Gurney Flap” Original Gumball rally “Champagne spraying.” A Tribute to Dan Gurney and his All American Racers company. Watch an old Speed Channel video about the F1 win at Spa in 1967. ( warning 22 minutes long) Find it HERE.

  • IMS Museum Honoring Andretti's Legendary Career with Exhibit
    IMS Museum honoring Andretti's legendary career with exhibit March 6, 2019 – The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum will honor 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner Mario Andretti and his illustrious racing career with the exhibit, “Mario Andretti: ICON,” presented by Shell V-Power NiTRO+, opening to the public Wednesday, May 1. The exhibit is part of a comprehensive 50th anniversary celebration of Andretti’s victory at the Indianapolis 500. Andretti led 116 laps and delivered a popular, long-awaited victory for colorful car owner Andy Andretti with 1969 Indy 500 Granatelli, despite having to race in a backup car, battling race-long winning Brawner Hawk engine overheating issues and being forced to run all 500 miles on the same right-rear Firestone tire. “Mario Andretti: ICON,” presented by Shell V-Power NiTRO+, will bring together many of the most significant cars in Andretti’s career at the IMS Museum – cars which also represent significant milestones in motorsports history given Andretti’s accomplishments. The featured exhibits of “Mario Andretti: ICON,” are a full representation of the Nazareth, Pennsylvania, resident’s diverse career. A sampling of this can’t-miss exhibit includes: • The John Player Special Lotus Type 79-4, from the 1978 Formula One World Championship run • The 1974 Vel’s Parnelli Jones team Formula One car • 1967 Dean Van Lines Brawner Hawk II Indy 500 pole-winner • 1967 Watson Leader Card Sprint car • The 1967 Daytona 500-winning car • A 1994 Lola T9400 from his “Arrivederci Mario” farewell season • The Horn Offenhauser Sprint car, named “Baby,” from Andretti’s first Sprint car race.
