After our Wednesday night box stock racing last week, Mike Swiss; track owner, let me position the scratchbuilt Kurtis Indy Cars for a pictorial preview of the upcoming proxy race. If all goes as planned, Mike was aiming for this coming Tuesday for the race - I think there will be one on The King and one on the flat track Mike and Manta Ray built.

Mighty fine bunch of cars.
I'm guessing they will look fantabulous ripping around the track.

To coincide with the slot car Indy car pictorial, check out this video footage of restored 1950s Indy Cars. The sound alone is amazing.
