30 Days in May

No. 4, Al Unser, 1973 Viceroy Parnelli/Offy. Big Al was going for his third 500 win in four years in the 1973 race. He led 18 laps before being sidelined by piston failure after 75 circuits, finishing 20th. #ThisIsMay #Indy500

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.
