    At least three left in Indy form and if the one in Parnelli’s private
    museum runs, they are all runners. Think someone told me there is at least
    one "56B" (F1 version) in existance in England.

    This is the one that was on the Speedvision practice/qualifying coverage
    for Milwaukee.

    Both Howmet Turbines survive too!

    I wonder what his neighbors thought about him running up and down the street
    like that though. :)

    Look, there goes Batman.

    That turbine does sound pretty radical all right. Totally the Batmobile.

    My dad and I did that in 1969.  Much easier than a Lotus 49  ;)

    It was bizarre watching and listening to that car make laps at Indy. They
    brought it out a year ago iirc ….

    It probably wouldn’t have been too much fun to see a full field of those
    cars touring the Speedway…..   You’d be able to hear a pin drop

    Ours was painted STP Red complete with decals for it.  Not sure what we will
    do next year. I was thinking of Stirling Moss’ Monaco winning Lotus 18.

    Funny a buddy of mine told me that I should have built an Eagle or anything
    but a Lotus since it was bound to break.

    Last I heard, it was in the museum at Monza, still in the black and
    gold colours of ‘Worldwide Racing’, but that info may be well out of
    date.

    I will do the car with the side panels in place.  Since we will run the
    Pinewood Derby in the winter there will be no need to remove the side panels
    to get the driver more cooling air.  Hey but give yourself 10 points for
    having a good eye or memory.  I remember reading about how Rob did that to
    help keep Stirling for getting overheated since it was plenty warm at Monaco
    that year.
