I LOVED Mario Andretti!!! And I remember that race. As my two girls were growing up, this race was a tradition - big breakfast, up early to watch all the pre-race festivities. Neither girl has ever been to a race irl, but both are huge fans, even to this day. #proudmomraisingthemright
We do not live in the Midwest anymore and racing is not big thing here. Indy circuit does some through here once per year, but getting into it is nearly impossible.
And honestly, I’m an oval track girl. Not a street course fan, really.
Same, too hard to follow a street course and you see such a small segment. You don't see a lot at Indy either, I think that's why I liked Michigan so much, you could see the whole way around the track. Unless you had seats low on the front straightaway and the cars "disappeared" LOL!
That’s exactly why my father would never go to Indy, you couldn’t see the entire track, so he would rather watch it on tv.
