Hell, Bernzy, the Mrs. used to work for AJ. She was also the first woman ever allowed in the pit area on Race Day when she covered the 500 for UPI. It's a pretty dangerous place for anybody to be working, female or otherwise.

She's got some great black and whites of Andretti, AJ, Al Unser, etc. and an incredible one of Hurtabees in front of an empty grandstand just sitting on his car before the race just looking off in the distance. It's one of my favorites of the 500 that she shot. I think it mighta been during Carburation Day, if I remember right.

Don't worry - if I ain't,

she'll give ya the correct story behind it.

So go figure - what's the odds of talking the 500 and Hoosier stuff on a striped bass site?

I dunno, maybe it goes back to Garrett or something don't ya think? Beats me.
