These current race fans have no clue what the real INDY 500 was all about..

I completely agree. I have the Watson Roadster book that was published a few years ago talking about every roadster that Watson made. Those were truly works of art. The KK roadsters of the 50's were the most beautiful cars to ever turn laps at Indy. I wished to God I could have lived in the times when racing was more "Hey lets try this today on the car at the track" then "Well, what does the computer tell us to do?" Computers are nice for some things but they sure have hurt auto racing for those of use that "tinker".
