ARIE LUYENDYK 1996 BRYANT WAVEFORE SPECIAL REYNARD QUALIFYING AND SPEED RECORD CAR

THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CONVERSION DEPICTS THE "FLYING DUTCHMAN" ARIE LUYENDYK'S 1996 BRYANT HEATING & COOLING WAVEFORE SPECIAL REYNARD. THIS CAR HOLDS BOTH THE 1 AND 4 LAP QUALIFYING RECORDS AT THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY. LUYENDYK STARTED THE RACE IN 20TH POSITION AFTER TECH INSPECTION REVEALED HIS CAR WAS 7 LBS UNDER WEIGHT AND THREW HIS QUALIFYING RUNS OUT. IN TYPICAL FASHION LUYENDYK THEN PROMPTLY JUMPS IN HIS BACK-UP CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY AND SHATTERS ALL QUALIFYING MARKS...SPEEDS THAT I BELIEVE WILL NEVER BE BROKEN. ON RACE DAY LUYENDYK IS FAST AND RUNS IN THE TOP 5, BUT ON LAP 98 HE IS SIDESWIPED COMING OUT OF THE PITS IN THE ACCELERATION LANE BY ELISO SALAZAR. AFTER EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IS REPAIRED LUYENDYK RETURNS TO HE RACE MANY LAPS DOWN, BUT SOLDIERS ON THE FINISH THE RACE IN 16TH POSITION.
