I was eight years old in 1976 and attending my first 500 with my dad and uncle. This will be our 34 year in a row now. The first couple of years I don’t recall much of the races. As the years went on I fell in love with the Speedway. Just driving down 16th St and Georgetown Rd on Carb Day looking at the place from the outside gave me goose bumps. Some of the races that stick out the most would be AJ getting his fourth win. Rick Mears passing Michael A on the outside in turn 1 in 1991 to get his fourth. Danny’s spin and win which happened right in front of us. I was able to buy the picture from the Speedway with Danny spinning and my dad and I in the picture behind him (pretty cool). Now having the Bronze Badge to get into the garage area makes my week complete. We moved around the Speedway in different seats, some good and some bad until we ended up in the B-Penthouse. We truly own the Speedway for the great seats. The most important part of the Speedway for me is spending the day with my dad every year at the track. I wish the day would never end.
