What a great piece of machinery. I'm happy to see it is being displayed outside of a museum. And driven no less! That is cool.

Thanks for the post! Music to my ears and a treat to see it's being driven.

When I saw you get in and start it, I thought the something as the guy at the end calling it an airplane..
You Even hit the boost pump while starting..

Nice car..

So what do you fly?

If you haven't seen it before, here's the YouTube video I made of Mike Cleary and a ride in his #18 car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJdBO3tib3g

As you can see, it isn't easy to stuff a 6'-5" guy into a Studebaker Indy car. Putting Richard Quinn, also well over 6 ft, in the car with Mike is like stuffing big fish in a sardine can.

It wasn't me driving. I just saw it at the show and was lucky enough to hear him say he was leaving soon, so I hung around till he left.
