GLORY DAZE

It's the second day of May and already I feel like skipping school. I grew up in central Indiana, and as a young kid, skipping high school to attend the "Indianapolis 500 Time Trials" was a right of passage. My first trip was in 1977, those were the days of the wild and infamous “Snake-Pit”. To this day I honestly can’t remember any of the cars going around the track, but I can remember very vividly the “girls gone wild” for a beer. Back then a can of beer would get you a quick peek. I quickly learned the meaning of "Miller High Life". That was the beginning of my long love affair with the Indianapolis 500. The years have passed and the Snake-Pit is long gone but the memories remain. Over the years, my taste in beer has changed, but on the 25th of May I will be in the “J” stands at the completion of the 4th turn with my "Miller High life" in hand, a big smile on my face remembering the Glory Days and enjoying the moment. These are a few images from last year. See you at the track.
