Jim thanks for the answer.. I keep saying that I am "NEVER" going back to INDY, but somehow I always end up there..

Bill Bogues: I was entered but with Brittney and her dentist work.. Her being in BC. and not going back south until after Indy I am going to with draw. Just waiting to see if things change but that will not happen.. Camaro is not put back together but Dallas and Houston looks great with both cars..
I am going to wear out Terry Emmons.. LOL

Dad has either raced or attended INDY for the last 35 years and he is 58. The only one he has missed in that time is 1991.
I have be attended Indy for 18 years (only 7 years with a car) and I am only 28.

I've raced or attended Indy at least 20 times, my first was 1973. I also raced the 25th and 50th anniversaries of the race all with the same car. I'm looking forward to racing at Indy again soon. I just turned 60 in February.

Well He may not be under 60 (72 this year) But My dad has been to more consecutive Indy's than anyone. This year will be 55 consecutive Indy's the only ones he has missed is when it was in great bend Kansas, and he goes from thrusday til monday Every year. With any luck at all he'll be there this year as a car owner and crew on our comp car.

I'm 38 now and I'm over 20. 26 if My Math is right, 16 of those as a driver the rest as a crew member of Spectator.

I'm 57 yrs old. My first Indy was 1972. I was a Freshman at the Univ. of Cincinnati and crew member on the Gretcho Bros. AA/FA, along with Bob Calinchek and Kenny Kish. The only Indy I've missed since was 1980 when my son was born. 9/16/80. (Damn ex wife was due 9/1 and late as usual.) I think that's 37 years. JB.
