I'm a life-long resident of Indianapolis, and I've never seen a race at the Indy 500. I've been to the track a number of times, including the museum, but I've never even bothered to watch the highlights of a race. And when I was a kid, the month of May was huge - I had paper routes, and news stories began in April announcing which teams were showing up, what practices were like, etc. As a car enthusiasts and a Hoosier, I do like Indy cars, though. Here is Racing Champions 1994 Indy 500 Winner - Al Unser, Jr. who drove #31 Malboro to first place for Team Penske.
Got it for $2.00 at a flea market, and couldn't be happier.
