Tha 1962 SimonizVista Special

a Watson roadster modified by tha Indy Innovator, Smokey Yunick and driven by Jim Rathman

tha car waz actually faster in tha corners, but tha induced drag slowed down it's top speed on tha straights

so they ran tha car sans wing.

and tha car finished 9th. Tha following year tha Speedway banned wings, and tha ban would not be lifted until 1972.
Model by Carousel 1 #4408.
