May as well show our age by posting our first Indy 500. Mine was 1951 and that early in the year I was 12 years old. I remember it well because Mauri Rose flipped into a drainage ditch right in front of us. I believe it was Mauri's last 500. Didn't go any more until I was able to go without my parents. Went to several more until the mid-60s when the little green rear engine car and it's successors took over. No disrespect to the current cars, but just not my cup of tea. What could be more beautiful and sound better than a roadster with a Novi or an Offenhauser?
