Indy First Experience!

First time I saw Indy was 1981 as a spectator. It was incredible! The first time a raced there was 1986. Drove a SSAS 81 Camaro. I remember in class getting a significant holeshot and got stomped anyway LOL. Was lucky enough to win in 2000 stock eliminator in Bob Gipson’s N Stick Chevelle. Have raced there many times and each one is unique. I have been DNQ and near the top of qualifying. Have been to the late rounds and out first round. Been through tear down there multiple times in several different cars.

Indy is Indy. It is a sprint and a marathon all rolled into one. I agree. If you love Drag Racing and you haven’t tried it, you need to go.
