Does anyone know if they're having the memorabilia show at the Brickyard Crossings Motel this year at IMS? If so, what is the date?
Thanks ahead of time for the info.

Is that the show at IMS or at the Fairgrounds? Or have they combined the shows?

That's the show you were asking about. The one at the Brickyard Crossing at IMS.

Exact location is:
PAVILION at BRICKYARD CROSSING
4400 West 16th Street
Speedway, Indiana

The Pavilion is located next to the Brickyard Crossing Inn.

Thank you.

Is this normally a big event?

Yeah, there's lots of good memorabilia there. Walked out of there with three full bags last year.

I set up at this show and I always look forward to meeting people.

I hope to have a lot of stuff that interests a wide cross-section of fans.

The problem with this show is you get to see all the cool toys you destroyed when you was a kid, but now they cost big bucks. A show not to miss! Bob

Sorry to highjack this tread a bit, but I have a question for those of you interested in Indy 500 memorabilia.

My grandfather, Ed "Huck" Moody was an Indiana State Trooper from 1950 - 1971 and was the Post Commander of the Lowell Post. For many years he worked at the Track along with many other Troopers. My Dad and his brother would come with and sleep in barracks for a few days prior to the race, then sit on the wall on the back straight to watch the race. (My Dad always tells the story of sitting on the backstretch wall, with feet hanging on inside of track, and was amazed that the drivers would wave to them as they roared past. He realized years later that the drivers were just sticking their hands/gloves up in the air to dry them out...)

I have four sets of commemorative glasses that the Track sent to my Grandfather at Christmas time. They are in the original shipping boxes with labels from the Track and I believe have 6 glasses for each year 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961. Are these collectable/desirable? I keep thinking about just pulling them out using them, but if someone would be interested in them...

Thanks,
Michael
