GLADIATORS
(INDY CARS)

In ancient Rome, Gladiators had to be proficient with all weapons, under all conditions. There was once a time when, to be national champion, a driver had to not only coax a twitchy rear engine car around paved ovals and road courses, but strap on a fire breathing dirt car as well. Perhaps you were there, perhaps you’ve just heard about "the old days." It doesn’t matter now........ Your going to take a trip in time.....when turbines shocked the field at Indy, and the Springfield mile was on the schedule. You’ll see sidecars, coyotes, wildcats, eagles and Offys. J.C. Agajanian with his cowboy hat and Grant King with his welding Helmet. All the drivers, as you remember them Foyt, Andretti, Mears, The Unsers, and yes, Art Pollard, Swede Savage ,and Jim Malloy smile at us. Porsche engines in midgets, rear engined Indy cars going wheel to wheel with front engine roadsters. You’ll see the series that, for a brief moment, almost united European and American racing. You’ll reunite with forgotten racetracks, names, and symbols. A true racing collectable for the Indy car fan.  If you’re a fan of Indy cars, both today and yesteryear, you’ve got to have this one!
