The '97 car wasn't a complete piece of shit, as Tracy proved. But, for little Al, by that time the drink had started to take his speed and it was a long hard fall from there.

He probably started drinking to get over the split. Thanks Tony George.

Little Al made the switch to IRL and started winning right in the first season

but I still think he was no competition to his father and uncle, they raced Pikes Peak Hillclimb on IndyCars

The '97 Penske was actually fairly stout on short ovals, yeah. I remember it being a bit of a dog on the road courses. Beautiful car though!

Yes. It. Was.

Technically the car was faster than the '96 one, but it wasn't nearly as big a gain as Reynard and Penske found. Plus it was incredibly difficult to set up properly because of a change in the type of front suspension.

I've been watching some mid-90's races lately, and holy hell did Al Jr have racecraft! These kind legends are usually exaggerated, but when he did qualify well, no one did stand a chance. He only ever took 7 pole positions, and won 6 of them.


The only time he had pole but didn't win was 1992 at Surfer's Paradise.

Last weekend I went to the local karting track here (quite a nice one) and they had this old relic sitting there. :D

I wanted to sit in it so much... :whistling:

I doubt it is in running condition...on closer inspection which you can't see in the photos it looked like it was missing some internal parts.

Walker. Leaving IMSA and heading to Indycar...

Or Ford... Which would be really cool, but there's about a 0.01% chance of that.

The project looks like a good idea. As a bi-product, Cheeveer will be happy.
