Got it on. Attended in person in 1981. Infield at exit of turn 4. My room mate in college had a relative in Indy that let a race official use the lift in his garage. Drove up from Florida and we all got in free as family of that official about an hour before anyone else was admitted. We were right on the fence.

James Hitchcliffe on the pole. He was almost killed in a practice crash last year at Indy. He hit the wall and a suspension piece pierced the chassis and went through both of his legs at the upper thigh. He lost vital signs at the hospital from blood loss, but they were able to revive him.

Another reflection of the abdication of American rule; i.e. we are no longer the bright ones, the happy ones those who victoriously lay down the law. Instead we slowly sink into peasantry and ultimately peonage.
