Actually, when Parnelli said that Mark Donohue was on the pole, he was probably referring to the 1971 race. But that's a factual error. Donohue was the fastest at Indy that year, practicing at up to 182 MPH, but he slowed down with a setup he didn't like that Penske's mechanics put on his car for his qualifying, and Peter Revson actually won the pole for that race, using the qualifying setup Donohue wanted to run himself.

The two things that I wish he would have touched on were that Jan Opperman drove for him in 74 and how Page suffered the same injury at Eldora in 94. At the time of their accidents, Opperman was considered the best dirt track driver of all time and Page was considered the next super star of racing. I remember the Chili Bowl in 94,I live in Tulsa. Page his younger son and P.J. were leading the A on Saturday night and one of them had it in the bag. They were putting a lap on Kenny Schrader and the all three crashed. Andy Hillenburg went on to win that year. Later that summer at the 4 crown at Eldora, Page flipped and got hit in the cage by another sprint car. It took years for him to recover, but he finally did.

Legendary race car driver Parnelli Jones put his own imprint on the birth of SCORE and Baja Off-Road Racing in the late 1960s. On a ‘dare’ from builder Bill Stroppe, the two embarked on a series of memorable races in Baja, piloting the iconic Big Oly Bronco. No one represents the allure and attraction of Baja desert racing to world class race car drivers better than Parnelli Jones. In this brand new exclusive interview, Parnelli recalls some of his fondest memories of the Mexican desert, its people and its dangers. This is LEGENDS featuring Parnelli Jones.

Leading the 1972 NORRA Mexican 1000 by a large margin, Parnelli Jones and co-driver Bill Stroppe found themselves within sight of the Finish Line in La Paz but out of fuel!

Parnelli Jones Trans Am Race Car
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE1-xZA-w_E

While at the Fabulous Fords Forever show in Buena Park, California on April 11, 2011, I was witness to an incredible orchestra emanating from the exhibition area after the show ended and most everybody and their cars had left the grounds, so I rushed over to the grassy area and lo and behold, what did I see? The owners of this fabulous Boss Mustang had arrived from Canada and backed the race car out of the trailer. After a slumber of 9 months, the Mustang was started and unleashed into the parking lot and then returned to the trailer. What an experience!! Super nice owners, very willing to talk about the car - you are a tribute to the hobby. Thank you, gentlemen!

Dale Sale
The reason the 'exhaust' sounds so ridiculous is bc of the compression. And bc it has 2" header tubes going into dual pipes that comes out the sides. So it has 4 pipes from the headers back. My Dad owned and raced this car from 1982-1996(i was born in 1995). Dale Sale is his name if you're interested in reading

Rebel Rides
I am uploading this film again to my Rebel Rides account to get more exposure, but will leave it here. I have only recently discovered that the man I was chatting with, and who I errantly thought was the owner, was none other than the legend himself - Parnelli Jones. I don't know why he never told me who he was, but he probably thought it was nice to have some privacy for once, and that allowed us to communicate as equals - as normal gearheads. What a cool guy he is!!

Parnelli Jones teamed up with car owner Bud Moore and fellow driver George Follmer to win the 1970 Trans-Am Championship for Ford. In this 110th Anniversary of Ford Racing interview, Jones recalls the keys to that title run and why he's happy to be a Ford man.
