Mike and Laura Cleary arrived in Cedar Rapids with their #18 Indy car from 1932. Mike has been kind and patient in answering my torrent of questions about how to make a replica of one of these cars. Today, he gave me a ride down the highway in his car. It was a real "Wow!" to be in a small, open cockpit racer with open exhaust moving down the road - four carbs, 336 cubic inches of straight 8 Studebaker power. Jim Turner spotted us as he was driving in and remarked later that I had a grin from ear to ear. I sure did!
Thanks a million, Mike!
