How is the weather there, DR TomovOZ?
Yes, DRGINNY - the Indy 500 used to be quite a BIG DEAL. All of downtown was decorated, there were festivals and parties every day of the month in May, there was a Miss 500 Pageant and the Queen had her court, and everyone in Indiana was excited because the eyes of the world were on us, and MANY celebrities visited here.
NOW, Mr Tony Hulman, son of the man who made the Indianapolis 500 a BIG DEAL....a wholesale grocer from Terre Haute...has decided he wants to have a WORLD CLASS FORMULA ONE race track and hobnob with the rich and famous - although he and his drunk mother will always be hoi polloi. Mr TH, JR, has turned it into just another race on just another day.
