Team, Carbone, Johnston, Wendt, The Report from Speek Week 2012
Yes, indeed they were there and it was official at The Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week August 11-17, 2012. It was a gallant effort that included a long drive from South Florida to the Salt Flats in Utah. And, so it is said, "a classic car's paint job can be its greatest feature or its greatest weakness." In this case, #5 looked FABulous in its 'El-Primo Paint' ... we only wished it would have warded away bad karma!
A. J. Watson (May 8, 1924 – May 12, 2014) was a car builder and chief mechanic from 1949 through 1984 in the Indy 500, winning the race six times as a car builder.
Racers, Dave Johnston, Bill Wendt, Jerry Carbone and Company proudly pose with their own Watson.
