Who needs a fancy helmet design to go fast?

All you need to do is protect your head and have a visor opening just big enough to see out of!!!

Our pal, 1973 & 1982 #Indy500 winner Gordon Johncock....🏁🏆🏁🏆🇺🇸

Thinking Bobby Unser today - he passed on May 2, 2021.

All the laughs, smiles, stories & fun over the years -especially during May in Indianapolis.

He loved the 500 & absolutely everything associated with it!

If YOU ever got a photo with him, post it pls, so we can all smile😃

Hanging out with Tony George! 😃

He was dressed nicer than I was. I had my Mister Rogers' Neighborhood t-shirt on under my firesuit... Shoulda kept it - going for $300 on ebay today!!

Congratulations Julie!

Welcome to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Welcome to May!

Our pal loved and promoted the #Indy500 endlessly - always signing autographs, posing for photos, doing TV and radio interviews, attending dinners and being an amazing ambassador.

RIP Wally Dallenbach....

I'm going to take a wild guess - Rand McNally was NOT consulted on this map from 1964 used by the folks at Racing Pictorial....especially the Great Lakes and Michigan region!

'We lived in a different world back then!' And this just might be proof of that...

Just saying.....

Gary Bettenhausen.

1977 #Indy500 on the backstretch entering Turn 3 - Lap 138 drops out with clutch trouble.

Pulls off the track to cool off & a shirtless dude in short shorts vaults the fence & hands him a cold beer.🇺🇸

1979 -
Robin Miller and Sir Jackie Stewart. Really??

No, not some multi million dollar set in Monaco to preview the #Indy500 - just someone's basement in Indianapolis. Dress code optional!

You'd hang on every single word if it re-aired today. Just like you would have then!

Just badass & good lookin' & iconic....

These scoreboards between Turns 1 & 2 and Turns 3 & 4 were a staple for years at Indianapolis - very effective, simple to read & very informative at a glance.

The information was always there.

Sad when they got removed. It would have been very simple to update and replace them.

This photo makes me smile, always will 😃

IndyCar ratings should be damn good this week on national TV🤞 Going up against Bowling, Basketball and Bull Riding….

1973 #Indy500 The Snake Pit....

You brought your own music - AM/FM Radio, cassette tape or 8-track tape.

Thankfully Tom Sneva basically walked away form this 1975 accident at the #Indy500 ....

Because Tom did, let's play a game - write three things YOU see in this photo- I'll start....

1. A Pacer Light
2. An empty lawn chair
3. A dandelion

Your turn.....⤵️

Mr. Pat Vidan set the standard.

Plain and simple - the best and unmatched!

When Al Unser blew his engine in the 1973 #Indy500 , he also blew apart part of his rear wing!☁️🧨
