May 1967 - Winchester, Indiana

Denis Hulme and Jochen Rindt try on a sprint car for size.

Both drivers would compete in that month's Indianapolis 500, with Hulme's Smokey Yunick-entered Eagle-Ford finishing fourth while Rindt's factory-run AAR Eagle-Ford dropped out after 48 laps with valve troubles.

Both drivers would go on to win the Formula 1 World Championship, though Rindt would do so posthumously.
