Talk:STP-Paxton Turbocar

Edit to the "Trivia" section
NOTE: This is a copy/paste from the talk page for the Speedway Museum's talk page


 * The photography department's Halon system was shown to me by Speedway and IRL/IndyCar head photographer and curator in 2008, when I went with 1963 500-winning mechanic and ex-father-in-law (the late) Jack Friedman's daughter to comb through every single contact print and some negatives with a loupe to locate 8 shots of him, which I ordered 8x10 (or 8x12) inch reprints to give to him. Also, that year, I shocked the elderly gentleman sitting on a stool near the #98 and Jimmy Clark's rear-engine Lotus when I told him it was a replica, as Jack and his wife Diane had seen the original in Rufus' car collection while they were his guests, when they were on vacation in California.


 * From 2001-2004 I worked for Forrest Bond's RaceFax as a photojournalist covering the IRL; and at the public driver's meeting Andy Granatelli, sitting next to Norm Macdonald with both of them addressing the gathering, told me afterwards that the car in the Speedway Museum is indeed a replica; and then I surprised him when I told him about the legacy of the `63 500-winning #98 — We both got a chuckle out of it.
