I honestly don’t remember the details, but it was in the range of 1979 to 1981. I was very young. I did get come away with this autographed picture of him with his 1977 Indianapolis 500 winning car. I thought I had lost this years ago, but found it the other day at my mom’s house. I tucked it away in a very safe place. So safe, I had forgotten it. Now that I have it again, I’m going to scan it in at a really high resolution to restore it. This is just a picture I took with my phone that has been color corrected to un-yellow it. Anyway, very glad I have this back.

I was at the 1976 race. I was 9 years old. I had a bet with my mom (don’t remember what the bet was) on who would win. I had Foyt. She took Rutherford. She won. Lucky for her it rained that year.
