Team Penske has again donated a part from the #3 Helio Castroneves' Indy Racing League, Honda/Dellara, raced at Kansas. The autographed, damaged front wing was broken off when Helio got into the back of (correction) Mario Morias. Helio, started from the rear, having been sent there after a qualifying infraction. He was hard charging to the front when Viso checked up and got into his back. Helio finished 2nd. There is a letter of authenticity and photographs documenting the part and incident.
This item along with some other interesting items will auctioned off during the Duryea Party Saturday night. All procedes go to the Pagoda Skyline Association.
I have pictures and documents but I can't figure out how to post them. If any one is interested in seeing them before the party, send me an email. dspgti@aol.com
Also, other donations for the auction or door prizes would be greatly appreciated.

Way to go Dave! Thanks! I just hope that people don't think, "gee I can't donate anything that compares to that, so I won't donate anything"
Hey, whatever it is, it doesn't even need to be car-related! Please try to help out.
Thanks,
Rich Rock, Chairman Duryea Hillclimb

Well, I still have the hood from the GTI I rolled at DHC in'99.

The picture doesn't do justice to this part. It's very cool!

Re: Indy Car part at Duryea Party Auction
I should be bringing used/signed Bill Auberlen driving gloves and shoes from older sports cars. The gloves were used at Le Mans in 98 driving to 4th place overall in a GT1 class McLaren F1 GTR long tail and the shoes were used 99/00 seasons behind the BMW V12 LMR sports car in the American Le Mans Series.

Thanks Matt!
Face it folks, this is about as close to owning an Indy car or racing at LeMans most of us are going to get

Re: Indy Car part at Duryea Party Auction
I'll be donating a spare copy of RACING AND SPORTS CAR CHASSIS DESIGN by Costin and Phipps, the same Costin from Lotus who's name gave us Cos-worth. (out of print since the mid 70's)
Maybe also a framed RACING HISTORY, REINVENTED poster from the 2005 return of open wheel racing at the Glen, dunno, just dug it out and am getting re-attached to it.(Mario's JPS Lotus superimposed with Buddy Rice's modern Indy car in the same corner)
Gotta dig around a little more.
