Ron, I grew up 5 miles from the track on west 10th. I could see the smoke from Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonalds crash in 4. It was 64 I was 8 at the time. I still remember the somber tones of Sid Collins " Sachs exits this earth in a race car". A number of my friends were there for the whole fiasco in 73. I went to school instead. This year I took my 12 year old son to his first Indy race he missed two days of school. Even though it was a long race due to yellow, we thoroughly enjoyed the greatest spectacle in racing. And thank God there were no red flags. Thanks for the memories. Kevin Calabro
