INDY - the highs and lows

Don't recall too many lows about attending Indy. The last time I was there was in 1972. Any time you are at Indy will be and experience you will not forget but go expect it to be like it was in 1972. Over the last few years my wife and I have talked about planning to go back one more time while we're still living. Had really thought about it this year, to take our Duster, my son, his wife and my grandson's. I would really like to see the expression on Little Chris and CJ's, my grandsons, faces when they got to that event.

I guess, relative to wages, that things costed about the same then, but we really didn't eat out or stay in elaborate motor homes or hotels. Most everyone brought things to cook, cooler for beverages and either sleep in the truck or a tent and not many of them. I was just thinking it would be interesting to see what the entry fee was for Super Stock at Indy in 1972 an what the concession stand prices were. I believe that gas in Raleigh in 1972 was about 75 cents a gallon.

If you can afford to go to Indy, go and enjoy all that is the drag race of all drag races.
