re: My 500 Memories
Message:
I used to go to pole day from 1985 to 1995 then the cars split. My great Grandpa went to the first ever time trials and so every year since then one person in our family have made the treck to pole day. I have books from the 1911 race all the way up until last year. I can still remember my dad and I getting up at 4:30a.m. getting ready and stopping at 5:30 a.m. for donuts and chocolate milk. We made the 3 and 1/2 hour drive to indy and would get there at 8a.m. indy time and watch practice and pole day qualifing. Then head home. WOW! What a trip. I remember a time when Hiro Matsuda crashed as we were watching practice and seeing parts go every where. And Roberto Gurerro going 232 miles per hour and Tom Carnegie saying HEEE'S OONN ITTT! AND IITT'S AAA NEEEWW TTRRAACCKK RRECCOORRD!. What memories.
