maybe they should auction off all the rusty metal in that so called Hall of
Fame on the ground of the Speedway and maybe they can help fund a race or two
instead of King George wasting away the family fortune



Since it is just rusty metal, I'll take Clark's '63 Lotus for free or
a nominal fee. One like it, that did not win Indy, sold for several
million dollars.

Another rust bucket I would like to have would be Villenueve's 1995
CART/USAC car.

That is just off the top of my head. It is the most amazing
collection of race cars I have ever seen, to be rusty metal.
