Bushkill Twp?

@@drimmie actually in nazareth

Did your dad pull out the "Who do you think you are, Mario Andretti?" card?

when is he going to be in St.Petersburg?

I'm an old SOB, so I don't need to! :-)

Lol no racing fan alive need look up Dan Gurny, on behalf of all open wheel enthusiasts; our dream car is a gurny eagle

That must have been before Mario Andretti became a household name. Yeah even a lot of Europeans dig the guy. A versatile driver who further influenced the rear-engine revolution to AOWR (American Open Wheel Racing) by talking Colin Chapman into attending the 500. Famous for the introduction of the full-face helmet, invention of the _'Gurney Flap'_ and pioneer of the customary celebration of spraying champagne in the winners' circle after he Foyt won Le Mans in 1967. One of the few drivers to pressure Jim Clark into a mistake (1964 Race of Champions, Brands Hatch). There's quite a bit of accolades to shower him with. For me it's his 1967 performance with his Eagles in F1 and USAC races. Nevermind Spa, the fact that he is seen in multiple photos mixing it up with the almost invincible Lotuses and Brabhams is what indicates how good he really was.

David magnet? Yes

European opinion was Peterson was faster but qualifying doesn't lie. Andretti consistently beat him in Qualifying.

Mario's lone F-1 championship in 78 came at a great price. His teammate friend Ronnie died in a crash that same day. Mario was also cheated out of his second Indy win in 81 when Bobby Under passed people under caution.

A diplomat. Similar to Jim Clark he certainly carries himself in modest yet humorous way. I would have to add that I thought he handled another disappointment at Indianapolis in 1982 - again from no fault of his own. He gave a slight push off on Cogan and said some unfavorable words about him to the camera, but that was it. In fact I'm surprised that AJ Foyt didn't clobber the guy. I sure do miss those two characters.

KPH??

yeah, that lawnmower.

J-Roc Baby VTEC KICKED IN YO!

Autobahn

yoda124 had to be a diablo, no countach could hit 190, let alone on the street. Could have been a newer dealer car

yoda124 Diablo, a Countach would just fall apart at 169

I don't even think Diablo's can comfortably get that fast on public roads without the car being setup properly and perfect conditions...I'd say it was at least a Murcielago or an Aventador (depending on when it took place).

It's not that deep

@SafeSpeeder That's what the driver of a semi in Humboldt Saskatchewan Canada thought when he ran a stop and hit a bus load of hockey players in 2018 with disastrous results.

@Michael Benedict Very easily. The McLaren F1 has THREE seats.

@Michael Benedict That's ok. You'd think a car called 'F1' would be a single seater anyway!

I’ve been 150 in my merc a few times and it’s really not too bad. I’d imagine 180 in a Lamborghini feels better than mine at 150.

Not as boring as reading your dribble!

@@Loulovesspeed OOF 😂😂😭😭

@@Loulovesspeed Drivel daaahling.

This guy's last name must be Unser

You wish you could be as bad ass now as Mario is at 80+ years old, he could still beat your ass on any track, anytime. This man is a legend, could drive and win in anything, sprints, stock cars, indy cars, formula 1, endurance racing cars. This man has earned respect and is still a very down to Earth classy person in life.
