@@stevelucero9047 There used to be real natural drama in each aspect of racing. Now it's just a mad dash in the final moments. The fans obviously preferred the older style of racing, but the executives dogmatically stick with the new style despite lower attendance and less interest.
Miss the sound of the V8 turbos in the 80's and 90's.Happy Hour was fun to watch when the track cooled down the speeds went up.Had tickets for the 1988 500 sitting behind Mario's pit and in 1990 sitting in the middle of turn 2.On my bucket list to go back but the 500 just isn't like it use to be.
8 years later.. Godspeed Scott

Sadly he died 8 years later in a crash at indy. rip
That's qualifying? Holy cow looks like 300k people there!
That's what it used to be like.
Back then winning the pole was almost as important as the race....

It used to be so hard to get race day tickets, that going to qualifying was your best bet to see IndyCars at Indy.
