Comment by Mike Buckley on June 27, 2009 at 8:11am: Nice it looks good. Here is a shot of the car in the pits at Riverside.

Comment by Peter Ellenbogen on June 26, 2009 at 11:22pm: Hi Dennis - sorry, but I prefer to keep them in one place online, as it makes it easier to track and sort out illegal use of them. Nevertheless, they are there for everyone to enjoy and just as easily viewable via this link as they would be on this site. Please let me know if - for any reason - you have problems viewing them via the link. Take care, Peter

Comment by Mike Buckley on June 26, 2009 at 10:58pm: So can anyone tell me if the Steed, Boraxo, Vicroy (any of the 3), or Shadows run at vintage events or are they MIA or static pieces someplace?

Comment by Dennis Gray on June 26, 2009 at 10:13pm: Peter.
Can you post the images to this site?

Comment by Peter Ellenbogen on June 26, 2009 at 9:44pm: Hi all - if you'd like to see some of my photo's taken at the F5000 event referred to below at this year's Australian Grand Prix, please have a look at the following link:

Comment by Mike Buckley on June 26, 2009 at 7:34pm: We did have F5000 featured in 2008 for the Wine Country Classic but the field was rather lackluster. I was hoping to see some of the key cars the Steed, Boraxo, or Vicroy Lolas possibly Al Unsers old car or maybe a Shadow. We did have the Interscope Lola and and Eagle.
I did see the F5000 at Riverside in 74 and they allowed USAC Indy cars to compete as well so if they need to fill a field it's possible. In fact in that race Al Unser qualified Dan Gurney's USAC car higher than his two F5000 Eagles.

Comment by Dennis Gray on June 26, 2009 at 1:20pm: The F-5000 group uses an image from Laguna Seca yet they do not even come out west for an event. Note the spectators and cars o n the hill behind what was then turn nine. There must be at least a dozen F-5000 cars in Southern and Northern California it seems that an event would be possible? This was always a hi-point race in the old days and could be again.
