Hello again.............. we've been emailing back and forth today about the car show............... I'm way over in West Saint Pete............. I myself own a 1971 Plymouth Duster which is currently just about to go into a paint and body shop so I won't be driving that to the show however my good friend has a 1971 Dodge Charger RT and he also has a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner and another cool ride a 1971 Pontiac Trans-Am.................. we chose your location and the time that you are having the show so that we could come to the show and then depart there and head straight out to the Plant City show which is also on the third Saturday of the month................ I would welcome you sending the pictures of past car shows that would be great to see, thanks..........Tony

By the way, these are my toys..............Duster is still in progress.
------------------------
Tony,
I'm about the same distance but over in Tampa. I drive a Dodge Charger with the SXT suspension.
We have all kinds of cars showing up....kind of a run-what-you-brung hangout of car folks who have no judgements about what a person drives.

A little like the Fast and Furious movie.....they were held together by a love for cars even though they all
drove something different. I like it that you did some planning to hit two shows on the same day.
I sometimes do that when I go to the 2nd Saturday free breakfast.

Winn Dixie has been allowing us to hold our 3rd Saturday Keystone Motor Club meetings
in the parking lot at 17649 Gunn Highway and Van Dyke Road, East side of parking lot
and I am greatful.
---------------------
Since that time our newsletter has had over 12,000+ views.
Click:
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/e...or-club-5.html
The advertising guys call those 12,000+ views "costs per impression" and we have done that
at NO cost to Winn Dixie. We ARE the car scene and a lot of people are interested in what we are doing.
--------------------
We have respectfully worn our masks while shopping there and
I can personally attest to the ready-made sandwiches....... lol
Several times we've also bought tea, lemonade, ice and sodas on hot
days for some of our meetings. For one meeting we also bought some folding chairs.
.....and we did our grocery shopping after the meeting.
--------------------
We have also done a few things to keep the area clean where we meet.
It started on a rainy day when we cleared a path for water to drain from the
parking lot when we had a hot dog cookout, and we have cleared that
drainage path more than once....even without a meeting.
--------------------
More recently we cut underbrush next to where we park, and hauled it away.
We also picked up cans and bottles that homeless people tossed into the brush.
On more than one occasion we removed debris and cut out brush, bagged it and
tossed it into the dumpster behind the store.

Even though an employee or two thought we were dumping our own
stuff, lol until we introduced ourselves and talked.
--------------------
We obtained 80 five gallon buckets of dirt and filled in ruts and holes.
We have sprayed underbrush to keep it from taking over where we meet
I also talked with Assistant Manager Ray, putting his mind at ease that everything
was rain safe in 30 minutes, while mentioning that it was a "no rain" day and
pointing out that the brief smell was far less than it was the day
we got rid of the dead armadillo. lol
--------------------
Which brings up today August 25 and our upcoming meeting on September 19.
We will need a member with a pickup truck to attend.

Someone has once again dumped a flat screen TV near our meeting spot.
We will need a few members to bag it, hoist it into a truck and dispose of it.

I thank the people who helped out on previous occasions
and I am hopeful that we can keep our space at Winn Dixie
clean for future meetings.
-Bob

Let's call this one "Before".

Thanks for all your hard work Bob!
Dale
--------------------
Dale,
You are welcome, sir!

The Manager is nice enough to let us meet in the edge of the parking lot,
so keeping that small area clean of cans, bottles and trash benefits all of us,
including the people who might be affected by our getting rid of the poison ivy and poison oak.

A.J. Foyt at his 65th Indy 500

at a time when some members of Keystone Motor Club are not yet 65 years old.......

Sunday will be A.J. Foyt’s 65th consecutive Indianapolis 500 – three as a spectator, 35 in a row as a driver and the last 27 as a car owner. It will be the only IndyCar race he attends during 2020 and, as most of us already know, it’s the only race he cares about.

At 85, he looks damn good considering he’s been through a triple bypass, a staph infection that brought on sepsis, rotator cuff surgery, back surgery and had his right knee and left hip replaced. That doesn’t count two bouts with killer bees, evading a poisonous snake and dumping a bulldozer into a lake.

The good news is that he’s as feisty and outspoken as ever and walking a little wobbly (he will not use a cane or walker) but getting around OK nonetheless. He likes Tony Kanaan, he might know Charlie Kimball’s name but likely has no clue that Dalton Kellett is from Canada or driving one of his cars.

He would never admit it but he misses the fans at IMS, because he still gets a louder cheer than anyone when he’s spotted.

More IndyCar!

A.J. agreed to sit down for an interview at the Foyt Wine Vault on Main Street in Speedway and reflect on his amazing life and love for 16th & Georgetown.

ROBIN MILLER: You came to the Speedway in 1955 when you were 20 years old and sat in the Turn 2 grandstands. What do you remember about that race?

AJ: I grew up listening to the race on the radio with my father on Memorial Day and that first year there weren’t nearly as many grandstands as there are today, no crash-proof walls and the front straightaway was still bricks.

RM: Did you ever imagine being in the starting line-up three years later?

AJ: I never dreamed I’d be good enough to ever qualify at Indianapolis and that first year was a dream come true. You never expect it.

RM: Back in the 1950s, car owners didn’t trust anyone under 30 to drive their cars so how did a 23-year-old land one of the best rides with Dean Van Lines?

AJ: I think I got that ride because I won an IMCA race at Salem and they figure if you’re crazy enough to run the high banks you’d be pretty good at Indy. Al Dean was a great owner and gave me my chance.

RM: Were you humbled or cocky?

AJ: I guess I got a little cocky.

RM: And your debut starting 12th and finishing 16th after a water hose blew and you spun out. Intimidating?

AJ: Not really but Pat O’Connor’s accident really bothered me. He’d helped me at a USAC race with my steering gear and then gave me advice before Indianapolis what to do and not to do, he was so helpful and such a good guy. Going around under yellow after that first-lap wreck and seeing him still in his car was hard to take and I thought maybe this is a little too tough for ‘ol A.J.

RM: Considering you broke your back, shattered your feet, damn near lost an arm and got badly burned a couple times, it’s hard to imagine how you made it to 55 let alone 85.

AJ: We’re all just passing through so you never know when your time is going to be up and I know mine should have three of four times but they weren’t ready for an SOB like me. I knew the odds when I hooked that seat belt and I was just hoping I’d be the one to unhook it at the end of the day. The only thing that really bothered me was fire, because back then when you crashed you usually caught fire and there were no fuel cells for a long time in the ’60s.

RM: And of course you insisted on wearing golf gloves instead of the fireproof ones that came along in the ’70s.

AJ: I had to because I couldn’t feel the car with those thick gloves. You gotta feel the race car with your rear end and your hands – that’s the way you learn to drive.

RM: Langhorne was one of the most challenging and dangerous tracks in the world — badasses like Rodger Ward wouldn’t run there so why were you so good there?

AJ: It was very fast and a tiring, treacherous track with no power steering and you were always sideways but I liked it.

RM: When USAC took the dirt races off the championship schedule it was the beginning of the end for that organization and cut the lifeline for midget and sprint drivers from that day forward. Agree?

AJ: I think so, because back then you had to run dirt, pavement, road courses, short ovals and superspeedways, so it shows the true champion. I’d still like to see dirt racing return as part of the championship but it will never happen.

RM: You began your Indy career in a front-engine roadster with eight-inch tires at 143mph and ended it going 223mph in a rear-engine rocket with wings and super sticky, ultra-wide tires. Which was tougher?

AJ: It was a helluva lot harder those first years because the tires were as hard as concrete — if you let the back end out you took a ride. You had to be more careful with roadsters, whereas the rear-engine cars you could feel more and they were easier to drive. Roadsters wouldn’t let you make a mistake.

RM: So what was your favorite car?

AJ: A sprinter on a tacky half-mile dirt track, because you had a lot of horsepower and you had to control it with your right foot.

RM: You were a good mechanic who could also build engines, so what was your greatest attribute? The fact you were brave, talented, mechanically savvy or smart?

AJ: I think all four, because you had to know a little bit about everything on the cars. I use to run my right-rear tires backwards to get more sidebite but you’re not allowed to have any ideas today and I think there are too many rules. I think my mechanical knowledge was a big asset and helped my driving. Today, a computer tells these kids what the car is doing and if not a lot of them are lost.

RM: You became the face of the Indy 500 with your four victories, great comebacks and ornery disposition. You always say Indy made A.J. Foyt and I always counter and say, no you and Mario, Parnelli, Herk and Gurney made Indy, at least for me.

AJ: The Speedway made me because when I won the race the whole world knew it. It’s the greatest race there is and I don’t think it’s any better today than it was in the ’60s and ’70s, it’s just different. And I also made big news at Indy by being an ass every now and then.

RM: Why is Indianapolis still so important to you?

AJ: I don’t care how many years you’ve been here but come race day you tighten up a little bit because it’s the race every driver wants to win. It’s like the Kentucky Derby. I’m gonna come back as long as I can because I still enjoy it. I’ve lived my whole life to come to this race.
