Indy Cars of the 1960s

One of the most spectacular and controversial decades in the long history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the 1960s saw the transition from the classic Roadster to mid-engined "funny cars" and finally to rear-engined racers.

See the wild racers of Mickey Thompson, Brabhams and the successful Hawk copies, the astonishing STP turbine cars of 1967 and 1968, Dan Gurney’s Eagles from 1966, and Lotus’s amazing four-wheel-drive cars.

These vivid pictures will take the reader inside Gasoline Alley during the tumultuous 1960s.
