Radoye Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Quote A jubilant Bill Vukovich after grabbing the Pole for the 1953 500 in one of the most dramatic runs in Pole Day history. He and his crew are soaked because a cloudburst opened up just as Vuky was in the fourth turn on his last lap. Chief mechanic, Jim Travers, said it was raining so hard when Vuky came off the fourth turn, that the rooster tail he was throwing obliterated the car. Typical Vuky, running on those skinny, hard tires, he didn't back off and flew under the checker in a downpour. The tall guy in the back is the 1952 500 winner, Troy Ruttman. Troy injured his arm in a sprint car race and had to set out the '53 500. A good friend of Vuky's, Troy was there to support him. Others from the left are co-chief mechanics, Frank Coon and Jim Travers, in his always-present sunglasses. Later they formed Traco Engineering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romantik Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Prosle nedelje sam bio u Crnoj Gori i u vrletima oko Skadraskog jezera naletim na neku vrstu relija, ili kako bi to zvali, mozda pre procesije, nesto starjih automobila od kojih mi je sledeci privukao posebno paznju jer mi je odmah Radoje pao napamet 🙂 Edited May 27, 2023 by Romantik 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Na danasnji dan: Dankan Hamilton u Jaguaru tip C koji je delio sa Toni Roltom na 24h Lemana 1953. Legenda kaze da su Rolt i Hamilton pred start trke - diskvalifikovani, jer su tokom prvih treninga za trku izasli na stazu sa pogresnim startnim brojem / Jaguarov tim nije stigao da ga promeni na vreme tako da su na stazi bila dva automobila sa istim brojem u isto vreme, Ferari je ulozio protest i auto je diskvalifikovan. No, Jaguar je izboksovao dogovor sa organizatorima da umesto diskvalifikacije plati paprenu kaznu i tim je vracen u trku. U medjuvremenu, Rolt i Hamilton ubedjeni da nece imati pametnija posla tokom predstojeceg vikenda odlucili su da skoknu do grada na provod i kako to vec biva malo se (vise) i popilo. Tako ih je i jutro pred trku zatekao sef Jaguarovog tima 'Lofti' Inglend da ih obavesti da ce ipak da startuju... Momci su sa piva presli na kafu, stigli na stazu u zadnji cas i startovali trku. 24 sata kasnije upisali su se u istoriju prosavsi kroz cilj kao pobednici... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Porseov 16-cilindricni bokser motor, planiran ali nikad vozen u Porseu 917 varijanti za Can-Am seriju sportskih prototipova. Posto su propozicije takmicenja za sportske prototipove u Severnoj Americi dozvoljavale vece zapremine motora u odnosu na one u Evropi, da bi bili konkurentni u Porseu su se odlucili na razvoj novog motora. Glavni dizajner Hans Mezger je dosao na ideju da se standardni 12-cilindricni bokser - i sam nastao spajanjem dva sestocilindricna motora iz Porsea 911 - dodatno pojaca tako sto ce mu se na oba kraja dodati jos po jedna banka sa dva cilindra, dakle ukupno 16, za totalnu zapreminu od 6,6 litara. 1971. uradjen je prototip i provozan (vidi dole) - no ispostavilo se da je ovakav velik i glomazan atmosferac previse za laganu sasiju 917-ke pa se od projekta odustalo. Umesto toga, odluceno je da se standardni 4,5 litarski 12-cilindricni bokser iz evropske 917-ke "probusi" na 5 litara i da mu se dodaju turbopunjaci, komada 2. Rezultat - jedan od najmocnijih sportskih prototipova ikad, Porse 917/30 koji je izdominirao Can-Am sezonu 1973 razvijajuci i za danas 50 godina kasnije neverovatnih 1100 KS u trimu za trku i preko 1500 KS u trimu za kvalifikacije... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 https://racer.com/2023/08/21/bill-vukovich-ii-1944-2023/ Quote Bill Vukovich II, the 1968 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year and a member of one of the race’s most prominent families, died on August 20. He was 79. Vukovich was the son of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Bill Vukovich and the father of fellow Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Billy Vukovich III. The Vukovichs were one of only five families to have three generations of drivers compete in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” joining the Unsers, Andrettis, Foyts and Brabhams. Quote Motorsports brought Vukovich much acclaim, but the sport also took a tragic toll on his family. His father, Bill Vukovich, died from injuries suffered in an accident while leading the 1955 Indianapolis 500 as he was trying to win the race for an unprecedented third consecutive year. Bill Vukovich II’s son, 1988 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Billy Vukovich III, also suffered fatal injuries during practice for a sprint car race in November 1990 at Bakersfield, California.
