Only two trainers (SR-71B) were built. The other one lives here.

So hot, it's cool:

Gurney in the Eagle at EauRouge. Seriously, this epitomizes the glory years of GP racing better than anything I've seen in ages.

Thanks for this picture.

(Interesting that there are no butts in the seats - must be a tire test.)

Didn't Tucker build those?

I believe Preston Tucker gets the credit but his little genius American Japanese man working for him supposably designed it.

Was this picture taking around the Austin, Texas area?? Looks it...

Mark

Mark,

Funny that you mention it..It does most definently look like Tejas! If you have been there you know the scene. Short oaks rocky flatland...all kinds looks the same..San Antone to Austin..

From the 37 through Johnson City...and up!

Good observation!

Bob

Oh, and just now I noticed the Texas plate. :)

Thank for the picture! speedTV did a interesting 30min program on that Gourney Eagle F1 car. Beautiful in HD, they let Hobbs drive it around the parking lot. Should have been an hour program IMO. Nice to see its being properly taken care of and kept in running condition!

I think that was done as part of a Road & Track article several years ago. (To bring Gurney, the car, and the track back together at the 35 year anniversary, or something like that.) I have a poster of it hanging in my garage.
