Happy Birthday A.J. Foyt.

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #78164 Doesn't seem possible that Ol' A.J. turns 90 today.? Hope it's a good day for all.? (It also doesn't seem possible that I've been a fan for 63 years!)?
George Boban All Messages By This Member #78165 I've been a Foyt fan since May 12, 1961. almost 64 years. When Tony Bettenhausen was taken from us I became an AJ fan.

Bill Blaylock All Messages By This Member #78166 Thank you for reminding us of A.J.'s birthday.? What a remarkable individual.? I have?thought that I first saw him at the Pan American Speedway on November 20, 1959, when the USAC midgets ran the 1/4 mile pavement.? I was just a youngster, but I knew the name from Indy.? But now when I check the few box scores available, I do not see his name.? I wonder if it's me or the box scores.? Apart from relying on my memory, it makes sense that he ran there, since other USAC notables were there:? Bettenhausen (won the feature), Jimmy Davies, Bobby Grim, Lloyd Ruby, Bill Homeier, Don Branson, Bob Wente, Cotton Farmer, Jim Packard), and since Houston was fairly close by.? I can't think of where else he would? have run that weekend. Anyway, we all know that a lot has been written (and filmed) of A.J. over the years ... but I sense that there is always an appetite for more.? I need to get his recent book.
