My first Hoosier Hundred was in 1967. I can close my eyes and still hear the music of the DOHC Ford as Bruce Walkup broke the track record.
There used to be two great traditions on the Saturday after Labor Day, the Hoosier Hundred and the Miss America Pageant. Bert Parks, longtime emcee of the pageant died, and the fair board started moving the Hoosier Hundred date
around and both events diminished greatly.
I attended several State Fair Century USAC stock car races at this historic venue as well and the stands were always packed.
I called both Anna Whelchel and the governor’s office and left messages. The governor didn’t seem interested and switched me to Anna Whelchel; but anyway I did my $.02 worth.
I agree with Racefan20 about the political posts. They don’t belong and should be removed. There is enough of that crap on Facebook and we don’t need more of the same on this forum.
