| (3-7-08) From photographer Ike Smith:
"I don't know the gentleman's name with his left hand on the roll
bar. The guy with the blue baseball cap is Bill Spangler whose Indianapolis
shop the car was prepped at. The blond guy reaching into the car
is Eldon Rasmussen who built modifieds and raced Indy cars for a while.
He is Canadian and he and his brother had several martinizing shops in
Canada.
The kid in the black pants and tennys is Boyd Jeffrie's son.
The team was the ROBBINS (Marshall)/JEFFRIES (Boyd) LOLA . The race
is at Texas and the car would not start on the grid so they ran back and
pulled the starter out of the Chevy truck that hauled the car and put it
in. There was no TILTON light weight gear reduction starter at the
time." |
