The Glory days of Indy Car Racing i was 14 in 1964, never forget the tragedy at Indy! Look at that crowd!

Thanks for posting this. Great footage.

[@blugold94]

Never knew of Bobby Marshman before reading "Black Noon". One of the many "what if" drivers of that era, seems he would have been an Indy winner.....would be killed in a crash/fire in testing at Phoenix just months later.

Don Branson was also killed later that year.

Wish that the picture was digitalized. Quit blurry on a flat screen. Short but sweet. Thanks for posting.

Great track glad that they are returning to Milwaukee in 2024

I was there.

One of the very few races that year not won by AJ. Should have driven his roadster instead of his rear engined machine and he could have swept the races at Milwaukee.

Your comment about Foyt should have use a roadster for Milwaukee [in the emerging age of the rear-engine Champ Cars] had merit. I checked with the racing reference website for the USAC 1964 Champ Car season, where Foyt was still competitive late in the season at Trenton with the Watson roadster; as he led some laps.
But, in the season ending race at Phoenix, racing-reference shows that Foyt drove a rear-engine Halibrand Offy, qualifying second to Parnelli Jones; and Foyt led six laps before spinning out.

The next year he had to run his dirt car and put it on the pole.

Was produced for a game- card show.

A game-card show? Did they film other races?

[@bustertaco]
