My Dad and Grandpa
Message:
I was 10 years old in 1968. My Dad and my Grandpa took me to the first day of qualifications. I had received a hand-held stopwatch from my Grandma and Grandpa for my birthday earlier in the year. I was now going to use it at the greatest racetrack in the world. What a thrill it was to have timed the first official 170 MPH lap with my little stopwatch!
My Grandpa died just 4 years later, so this is a cherished memory that I will never forget.
