Sights & Sounds: Carb Day Has Evolved From Mere Test Session
Even though it’s been nearly 45 years since carburetors were last used on an Indy- car engine — the 1963 Fords of Jim Clark and Dan Gurney had them — Carburetion Day remains one of those traditional, cherished events so unique to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In 2005, he returned to the sport and Indy — for the first time after the horrific 2003 crash at Texas that came eyelash-close to killing him — and put up the field’s fastest qualifying time. So, launching a second career there — this one in music — with the band Brack seemed at least fitting if not some sort of rock-n-roll destiny for Brack, the former driver turned lead guitarist.
