EARNING your way to Indy by way of Winchester, Eldora, the Indiana State Fairgrounds, etc, etc, should still be the only way to get there!
I didn't know that Winchester, Eldora, the Indiana State Fairgrounds, were around in 1911.
Thanks for taking my statement out of context
1911 was different from 1932, and from 1952, and even 1972.... BUT, the majority were still earning their way there! Foriegn or not, they earned their way there.
In the 1972 Indy 500 field, how many drivers do you think knew how to at least -start- a midget or sprint car? I count
21.
In the 2010 Indy 500 field, how many drivers do you think know how to at least -start- a midget or sprint car???? I count
4....
....
Boy, that sure is progress
