    The Borg Warner Trophy!
    Haven't been there since '93.
    I better get cooking.
    I have 198 laps to go lol

    I'm jealous. We didn't those cool tickets. Just some plastic badges. It was a special trip for me. An all expenses paid trip there by my son to the track and museum. I've watched the race (on closed circuit, then regular TV) since 1967. Still haven't seen it in person but maybe someday. It's on my bucket list.

    Back on topic. -) Thanks Heather.

    So, you were fishing without a license and didn’t want anyone to know who you were?

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Enjoy. The day we went was lightly raining and I was rather bummed until we were taking the bus around the track and the driver told us if it wasn't for the rain, we wouldn't be able to take the track tour as the track was supposed to be in use by a car club. It was our lucky day.

    I'll be on a bus as well. Fingers crossed.
    Best.
