behind the question...?...trying to figure out which year it was that I
attended the 500 with my parents. Going by the answers, it was '68. I
remember the -HUGE- noise of all those engines on the first lap, I was
shaking from the sensory overload. That passed after the first lap or
two. I remember the difference between the piston cars and their roar and
the -woosh- of the wedge-shaped, neon-colored turbine cars as they
passed, just wind and tires on the track. Somewhere I've got a bunch of
pictures I took with my Brownie...have to dig those up.
