I used to live in Speedway and went to Speedway junior high. We lived real close to where 16th street curves and turns into Cunningham (?). We could hear the cars at Indy from our house.
When we first moved there in 1974, we lived in some apartments near Ben Davis High School (?) and Gordon Johncock stayed in the apartment next to ours during May. He even had one of his cars on a trailer in the parking lot one night. He pulled the tarp back and talked to my Dad and I about it. Also, my Dad and I were driving along one day on Crawfordsville Rd and in the parking lot of an old Holiday Inn, there was some guy working on a top fuel dragster. We stopped in and started talking to the guy (he was by himself) only to realize is was Don Garlits. Different world back then.
