The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-Gordon Smiley-1981

Gordon Smiley sits on his 1981 #60 STP/Intermedics Wildcat/Cosworth in a mis-matched driver suit

Sadly, this is the last Indy 500 Gordon Smiley would race in before his death during qualifying for the 1982 race. Wildcat ran the same paint scheme as Mario, but the STP logos aren’t the prominent ones, and the car looks better as a result. The Intermedics logo could be better, but other than that, this scheme is worth a B+

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
