Indy 500

[tector]

I remember watching Indy 500 on TV every year growing up in 70’s…along with World Series, Miss Universe, NFL/AFL championship, Kentucky Derby, Oscar award, etc. It was part of our culture in those days

Out of all of those, the only one still flourishing is the NFL, obviously. The rest used to be big news--newspaper front pages; magazine covers; reported by ol' Cronkite; people on Johnny Carson (who was THE man), etc. Now they are here and gone in a tide of other BS. I think it is shame as to all of them EXCEPT the Oscars. Given to the current state of Hollywood, I am glad to see those diminished. If we ever do get into a shooting war with Red China (talk about old school!), if that's the only town they nuke, I think I am good with it (they could throw in SF, Seattle and Portland, too--just spare San Diego if the West Coast has to go).
