There were race car drivers and then there was Jan Opperman, Non-Wing Sprint car sensation and the WOOutlaws phenom. Jan went to Indy and saw Mario Andretti had a spare car and he asked Parnelli Jones if he could drive it. PJ had never met Jan but knew of his incredible record and said, hop in.
This kick started a pavement Indy Car career that was notable for the Long Haired Hippie, Jesus Freak Wheelman.
