IMS Kids Club Package Arrives

Sean’s IMS Kids Club package arrived earlier this week. One key upgrade over last year’s inaugural offering is an autograph book. Last year there was a Sharpie, but no book, so Sean ended up getting his autographs on one of my notebooks. The Kids Club is open to kids 12 and younger and costs $25. Here’s the website if you’d like more information: http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/about/40423-IMS-Kids-Club/?hide_sidebar=true

Of course, I had to make Sean a charter member when the Kids Club was offered last year. Some suggestions for the future: Find out the child’s favorite driver and include a personalized autographed photo and include a Hot Wheels IndyCar (as opposed to a generic Hot Wheels car).

I'm a collector

I collect just about anything related to the 500 and IndyCar racing: Yearbooks, programs, post cards, diecasts, decanters, autographs, T-shirts, media guides, newspapers, books, magazines, trading cards, bobble heads, plastic models, CDs, DVDs. I even have View Masters (remember those?) and a blow-up Goodyear blimp, which hovers serenely in my basement. I think the following sums up this mania best. Once, while at the Mailroom on 16^th Street I was looking over some items, and my mother told the owner, Frank Gilbert, “He’s been hooked on this since he was about 5.” “Well, there are a lot worse things to get hooked on,” was Frank’s response. Indeed. I love hearing from fellow collectors about their prizes and how they got them.
