I was born and raised in Lawrenceburg, I live in Aurora now, but Lawrenceburg has been my home track since childhood, almost 40 years now. I am still a Burg regular, although I havent been to the track yet this year, ARGGHHHHHH! Cutting to the chase, there is a restaurant in Lawrenceburg that has a hamburger called the "Lawrenceburger" and since I am not creative nor imaginitive, I called myself "Lawrenceburger."
Darva Jones (Levi's Mom) gave me that name. There were 3 Marks that ran around with the Jones gang and one day Darva started calling me Eldora Mark ( I live 10 miles from Eldora) and it has been with me since.
Growing up at Oswego Speedway I was either a fan or friend of many supermodified drivers that had the dream of running in the Indy 500. An over the years I watched a number of those drivers and several crewmen that competed at Oswego Speedway get to live that dream of being a part of the Indy 500 as a driver or crewmen. I chose IndyBound for my IOW name at a time when many felt the Road to Indy had closed for open wheel short track racers from the U. S.. IndyBound represents hope to me, the hope that in the future we will once again see someone that got their racing experience at the local short track in your home town have doors open up that will take him or her to Indy to run in the 500.
