Message: I have similar story-
I used to live in Speedway, my father worked at the Marathon terminal and I attended the 1973 rain fest. I was 6 and witnessed the big accident then the postponed race. I asked my parents which tow truck one the race! We started to work at the Memorial Golf Tournament is Columbus, Ohio the next year and have done so for the past 34 years which is the same week as Indy. I retired this year from that job and I am going to Indy after 35 years ! Sitting in stand C with my son, his friend, and my brother-in-law. Go Danica !

Jeff, nice story! I still have the old ticket stub for 1966 that displayed Jimmy Clark in that Lotus 38. It is in very good shape. I used to also have the old 1966 program that covered Jimmy's win but unfortunately it fell prey to my ex wife who has probably trashed it. She never did like that race LoL! I did get the ticket though. I remember those Lotus cars as a toddler. I also remember my dad buying me a green "toy" lotus indy car hauler with the little lotus race car inside of it. That particular gift still stands out as my favorite. [/quote]
