I went to the Indy 500 in 1981. The skies opened up after the race was over.

Wild race in ‘81- big fire in the pits and Mears car and pit crew caught fire...
I was there in 2015. Sprinkles in the morning then it was sunny and 85 degrees all day. I always loved this race but loved it even more when i was at the race- besides the incredible atmosphere there were people wearing t-shits with the map of the US on it and the saying “BACK TO BACK WORLD WAR CHAMPIONS!!”
Absolutely a piece of Americana, this race

My Brother was going to take Me one year maybe 1966 or 67 (I was 5 or 6) but during a road safety inspection there was a massive crack in one of the A-Frames so that got scrubbed 🙁
His ride was a Pontiac GTO 389 Tri-Power 4 speed.
