Beginning of the end for Indy Cars and me. The rear engine skateboards just have no feel or sense of racers or racing in my opinion. My last Indy 500 in '65 or '66 was like watching an RC event. Fine for those who enjoy it but just not my cup of tea. Was at the track once or twice in the 80s for practice or maybe quals on comp tickets and had comps for a couple of races in the 90s but didn't use them. I think by then a goodly amount of the tickets were comps. I'd be there for every event if they were still running the front engine cars with drivers I recognize from short tracks around the country. I know, I know...living in the past!! Good pix tho. Especially the bottom one.
