That car is No. 92, driven by Steve Krisiloff. Started 23rd and finished 24th. Johnny Parsons, Jr. drove the 93 car. Started 14th and finished 12th. Verified via Carl Hungness Indy 500 Yearbook 1976
I second the motion that it's Krisiloff -- this isn't Parsons' helmet, but it does match up to Krisiloff's.
Further, in the official '76 post-qualifying photo of Krisiloff & car (by then with full "Ayr Way" colors), you can see all the matches of helmet, rear-view mirror pinstripes, etc.
My Dad liked photography as a hobby and his family made for interesting subjects to capture on film or should I say slides.
There aren't many pictures with him in them so I titled this blog "What my Dad saw".
The rear view mirror header I think summes it up well. I remember Dad saying "I am gonna take a picture of what I see every time I look in the mirror".
This is my families history, thanks for coming and enjoy.
