And Thank You and All of Our Military Active and Retired for Y'All's Service.
LOL !!! Not that I’m aware of.
Maybe they could score the contract for sucking out the Porta-Potties but it would have to include the logos of all of their products covering the entire Suck Truck. And the bimbo idiot marketing female has to wipe down the entire inside of All the Porta-Potties.
That’s Awesome !!! Only in America.
I know what You mean. I hear Indy 500 and instantly think of The Unsers. I hear Long Beach and it’s Little Al popping into My head.
It was pretty cool. I tell you, if I hadn’t seen him with my own two eyes, I might not have believed him, but there he was, just beaming and slapping backs with all the others.
I shudder to think that this could ever happen.
Wonderful story thanks for sharing
sure
Went to the race 7 years in a row back in the 70’s. Even went all 3 days in 1973 during the ‘Greatest Spectacle in Raining’. Last time I attended live was in the mid-80’s. Now I listen while slow smoking a Boston Butt for pulled pork sandwiches. Turn off the radio with about 50 laps to go and watch the rebroadcast in the evening.
My first race was a closed circuit live big screen show in 1964, i was nine. Than 1977. Than starting in 1988 every year through 2006, my son joining me in 1997 at the age of four. My son bought our way in last year. It has been fun to watch the transition of the cars.
Thank You
AJ Foyt’s team looks competitive this year
Over here (((PING)))
They're closing down the Unser racing museum here in Albuquerque. We have an entire Boulevard named after the family. Little Al's gotten himself in trouble on occasion here, but overall a decent sort from what I hear. The original shop they worked out of is on the northeast corner of old Route 66 (now Central Avenue) and Unser. They were the first shop in town as people came down off the west mesa into the valley heading east on 66 and the last place heading west.
As much as I dig F1, I have zero interest in Indy cars.
That said, I don’t ever watch F1 either... just follow it very closely.
And CARB DAY Is a Fun day for
