99th Indianapolis 500-May 24, 2015
The 99th running of the Greatest Race in the World!May 24, 2015
The big day is here.
Great picture and just one of many that are put up daily at “My Hero, My friend Jimmy Bryan” on Facebook – a page well worth “friending.” No idea where he gets all the pictures, but they are an incredible look back at the roadster era of the 500 (still the best!).
