1961 Indianapolis 500 Program

           
23 Days
till the 100th INDY 500!!!
 
We love looking through these old programs.  The former drivers, the neat ads and tons of information about Indy,
we wish we could post all the pages,
but here's just a few from 1961.
 
1961
The 50th anniversary
of the running of the first Indy 500.
A historic race, fittingly won by a young A.J. Foyt who would go on to win 3 more '500's' and become the first driver to win four Indianapolis 500's in his career.
 


Firestone Tires, still winning at Indianapolis.
 
 
State of the Art Helmets back in 1961.
 
 
 
 
A few of the rookies from the 1960 race.
Jim Hurtubise, Lloyd Ruby, Wayne Weiler and Bud Tingelstad

 
 
 
Technology in Indiana.
The Indy 500, and Outer Space....
years before man even walked on the moon. 
1961 moon space
