My first Indy 500
Message:
It was 1965 and my uncle got tickets and took my Dad, Mom and me to the race. We set in a little wooden stand between turns one and two. The prerace bands and activities were great. When Mr. Homan said gentelmen start your engeins my Dad said watch this the start is the greatest moment in sports. When the cars came by on the first lap I was standing with the hair on the back of my neck standing straight up. After 100 laps my Dad told me it was time to sit down. I still get the same goose bumps at the start of each race ever since and I have missed only one race since in 1973 (when I had sugery) or I would have never missed a race.
