One of the most spectacular decades in the history of Indy Car racing witnessed the shift from classic roadsters to rear-engined cars. Though initially resisted by diehards, the pace demonstrated by the Lotus-Fords in 1963 proved irresistible and by 1967 the field was entirely composed of rear-engined racers. This vivid look behind the scenes of Gasoline Alley during the 1960s depicts and describes a range of fabulous cars, from the last Novis to Mickey Thompson's wild racers, Brabhams, the astonishing STP turbines of '67 and '68, Dan Gurney's Eagles, Lotuses, amazing all-wheel drive cars and turbo Offenhausers.
