Tradition
Message:
The Indianapolis 500 has always been a tradition in our family. Memorial Day consisted of sitting around the radio listening to the race. 21 years ago, I sent in for tickets to our first "live" race. Our first tickets were for the 1988 race. Our seats were in the backstretch, and we arrived around 6:30. The sights and sounds were awesome, and Mario had bad luck again, coasting to a stop in the backstretch. The next day, we waited in line several hours to get tickets to the following year's race. We were upgraded to the Tower Terrace, and have been ticket holders ever since. I have been very fortunate, because my dad and son saw several races with us before my dad passed away a few years ago. Now I'm carrying on the tradition with our grandkids. I know we'll build many happy memories with them!
