Where did Tony Hulman go to college? Yale

In '74, The Indianapolis 500 was the main event of motorsports. I had the opportunity, through mutual friends, to view the '74 Coyote in various stages of construction. Virtually the same as the '73 version, and the '76 version, although the last two were likely improved, but not noticeable changes. The '76 version was the '77 winner, and Billy Vukovich Jr drove the '73 version in '77. BV was on the way to a 2nd place finish but had a wing bracket failure. As I recall, the '74 built Coyote/Foyt was crashed damaged at Texas World Speedway. The cars are much safer, much safer now than they were then. Had Dan Wheldon's car taken a slightly different flight path he would have likely walked away from his otherwise fatal crash at Las Vegas Speedway.
