guys and gals, you wouldnt believe this but guys that are hero's to me are out there and love to talk about the old days at the Speedway.
AJ Watson, builder of the Watson Roadster lives in Indianapolis and is in the white pages. apparently he loves to talk about those old days when he was the man of the Roadster era.. the Watson Roadsters won alot of Indy 500's.
Al Unser. lives in NM and loves to talk about his 4 wins at the speedway. Roberto Guerrero, lives in CA and loves to talk about his days.
I speak with Parnelli Jones often and almost considered him for LOG speaker at LOG 24 but I had my friend Dan Gurney be LOG speaker at 24. .
But, the point is , dont be afraid of reaching out to old hero's like this. These guys LOVE to talk about those great days, and for nuts like me, its the only thing that keeps me going.
I love to talk with old Indy drivers.
Turns out the very first Indy winner , Ray Haroon lived in my home town until his death on January 19, 1968. he died a lonely guy in a trailer park in the town that I grew up in.
his 1911 Marmon Wasp is on display at the speedway museum. I just wished I was around when he was alive. I would have been at his house evert Saturday to mow his yard. . out of respect.
