My dad took my brother and I to our first Indy 500 in 1963. We sat on the 2nd turn bleachers for $2.00/ticket. It was the race that Parnelli Jones won over Jimmy Clark and the Lotus Ford invasion. We attended the 1964 race when the fiery crash on lap 2 occured, killing Dave McDonald and Eddie Sachs. We were sitting on front stretch coming out of turn 4 where the accident happened. I also went in 1969 with high school buddies. We were 15 feet away from victory lane when winning car owner Andy Granatelli kissed his winning driver Mario Andretti. I also went in 1977 with some buddies I was serving in the Air Force with, and watched A.J. Foyt win his 4th Indy 500. I missed the 1978 race, but have not missed a race since. And this is were this blog comes in. For the last 30 years I have been keeping scrapbooks of the years we have been going. These books not only include accounts of the race, but also who attended, were we camped/stayed, what we did for entertainment before the race, and believe it or not, the vehicles we drove and EVEN what we had to EAT! I will be posting articles of each years race, pictures and the story of the friends and family that attended The Greatest Specticle In Racing.
