I recently got out the negatives from that trip and I want to share some of the memories I have with you. Here is the car of Bob Harkey, one of the many that would not qualify for the 1967 race. The photo, however conveys the atmosphere. Crowds were huge in those days as qualifying took place over two weekends. For the story and some interesing images, read on.
