At the time we were living in Southern California and were able to attend a number of the races from its early inception by Chris Pook and Dan Gurney when it was a Formula 5000 Race and then through F1, to Indy Cars. Also there are a few pics from when we ran an exhibition race with fellow IKF Karters and the crazy Aussie Sidecar Motorcycles in 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the brief You-Tube video\/post from few
