They sold one of the Indy turbine cars yesterday at the Barrett Jackson. Holy shit was it bad ass. Hard to believe STP had given it to The King as a gift and it just sat around for 15 years.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

Donnie,
It was a wonderful day. Emmo and Senna were like kids. Paul Tracy talked to Senna about the acceleration and when to lift off the turbo. Danny Sullivan was talking to Senna and Emmo about Mechele Albereto and his style. Al Unser Jr. sulked.
And then Rick Mears showed up.
No video to my knowledge.
There may be an Al Unser Sr. pic somewhere; I've never seen it. They were discussing time traps.
Life was so amazing and all I had to do was show up.A NATION OF COWARDS - Jeffrey R. SnyderComment

I got it mixed up - the turbine car didn't meet the reserve. I think it got up to 4 mill.

The story still untold is: Whatever happened to the turbine.
" The Lotus omitted a conventional gearbox because of the turbine's wealth of torque across the entire rev range." It ran on kerosene and water.
The turbine engine posed a threat to the oil cartels and the car manufactures. The was a 'hit' placed on Granatelli's head which turned out to be a buy out of the technology at Chrysler.
I'm certain that before I pass there will be a return to 1992 chassis technology where if an Indycar drove Indy upside down it would stay on the track due to the downforce.
And the speeds will reach 240+ just like Fontana in 2000.
