My Dad took me to see the Indy 500 in 1960. All of the cars were still front engined roadsters, most running the Offy 4 cylinders. If I remember correctly Jim Rathmann in a Watson roadster won the race. Other noteable drivers included Roger Ward, A.J. Foyt, Jim Hurtubiese, Eddie Sachs, etc. After the race was over and most of the crowd gone, we jumped the wall and walked around the track one lap. Hard to believe that was 51 years ago!
