Indy 500 Item of the Day: Kids Club Stuff

Sean has been a member of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Kids Club since its inception a couple of years ago, making him a charter member, I suppose. This year’s kit arrived earlier this week.

For $25 you get such items as a T-shirt (always useful), a knapsack (ditto), a kid-ential membership card, stickers, activity book and assorted other stuff.

It’s not bad, but there are some other rather obvious items that should be included as well:

· Autographed picture of favorite driver

· Autograph book with sharpie (included last year; makes no sense to not have these)

· A diecast INDY CAR instead of a Hot Wheels Mustang

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.
