That guy needs to contact AAA and Indy Museum to see what they have in historical records, might open all sorts of doors as Ricketyback sold the Speedway to Hulman after ww2

Fancy that.....that is me!

I was going to post here as well but was waiting to talk to the son of the owner from the 40's-1980. He apparently has a lot more of the history. The towns historical society called him to let him know we are would like to speak to him, and he said if the owners a pilot he will love the connection with the 2nd owner.

I can show you the family bomb.....my uncle bought it from a surplus store in Manhattan and took it home on the subway to Brooklyn in 1964ish. Times have changed!
