    I was there (Meadowlands). I forget exactly what year. 1985 or '86. I crewed for RPM Motorsport who ran Scott Atchison and another car (Budweiser sponsored). It was cool to be there with Indy Car (or CART, whatever it was). I saw Fittipaldi, Danny Sullivan, Andrettis, Unsers ...

    I think it started in '81. Chip Robinson won the first year in FSV. I remember cuz it rained all weekend. I'll haveta look for that picture. Michael Andretti crashed at my feet near the end of the indy race. They wrecked a lot of Skip Barber formula fords too.

    Hi,
    I am new to this forum but have recently purchased 1985 Ralt RT5/540 I believe to be the ex Gary Rubio (car#26) from mid eighties.

    I plan doing a full resto on the car and would love any info and photos of the car to assist in bringing it back to it's historic livery.

    Unfortunatelty being in Australia, there is not a lot relating to FSV's here so Google is my friend.....

    anything you may be able to offer would be hugely appreciated and can be sent to me at rvirago@motherwell.net.au

    Regards,
    Ricky.
