Re: U.S. Nationals, remember when?
I haven't been to Indy since 1990 and probably will never be able to go again. It's not because I don't want to but racers of my age are a dying breed and it just gets harder to make the trip. Many of the things haven't changed though. We were treated like second class citizens even back then. In 1989 they moved everyone in our parking area three times for various reasons and even tried a fourth time until we got together and said "no more! We are in this pit spot for the weekend!" They left us alone then. After all the ups and downs I look at my two Indy Wally's and smile. Both of them were hard fought and no, never had any singles at "The Big Go!". Jim
