One of my favorite of the Penske Racing Team.
Karl Kainhofer is leaning over looking at something as Roger Penske has his
foot on the tire thinking with Mark in the car. Those 3 guys started a team in
1965 to run a few CanAm races, never dreaming a few years later they would go on
to win the Indianapolis 500 together. Thanks David L. Stringer for the photo.

| A great picture of the AMC Javelin in 1970
during a Trans Am race. Not sure if that is Mark or Peter Revson. I know it is
Revsons car but part of the agreement with Revson was if Mark's car broke during
practice or qualifying he would have to turn his car over to Mark to contest the
race. I know that did happen a couple of times, and Revson did not care for that
too much. |

This is a great picture of Mark getting in his
F1 car before the start of the 1974 United States Grand Prix. Thanks to Paul
Baxter for the great shot. |
| Mark on his second lap at Talledega, Alabama
setting the closed course speed record in August of 1975. As David Branch who
graciously sent this picture says....I can still hear the sound of the car
coming at me, the breaking of the air and a slight engine sound, then the blast
when it went by... |

Bridgehampton, NY September 1967 CanAm
practice. John McGinnis sent this from the starters bridge during Friday
practice. As it was Friday, the sposor decals were not on yet on the bodywork,
so it is very clean. |
| Bridgehampton, NY September 1968 Can Am winner
Mark Donohue at speed, moveable spoiler remains in "up" position. One
of the few "unfair advantage" modifications that didn't work for
Penske/Donohue. Thank You to John McGinnis for the picture. |

Bridgehampton, NY June 68 TransAm race.
Starting grid for the race, Mark is taking a few moments to create a calm before
the storm. Thanks to John McGinnis for the great picture |
| St. Jovite, Quebec, Canada, June 68 USRRC race
up close and personal.This race was very wet, and the race started in a
downpour. Mark was driving the bigblock car and just ran away from the rest of
the field. John McGinnis who took this picture had a 11 X 14 print of this
photo made up and gave to Mark at the race shop a few weeks later. He seemed
pleased to have the print, and suspect it was a very satisfying drive for him.
