OT, but still Indy related....who did I buy a car from?

[9rows]

Doug Zink's daughter.

Doug was a backstretch (later turn 3) radio network reporter at IMS in the 60's and 70's (maybe even into the 80's?).

Anyway, I thought it was kind of cool

[Turn13]

What was the car?

[9rows]

infiniti g35 sedan .... used of course, i don't have $45k to waste on a vehicle.

she (his daughter) was my sales-lady at the dealership (d&r in greenwood)

she was flabbergasted when she handed me her card and i asked: "do you happen to be related to doug, the former ims radio network guy"

apparently most of her customers are not diehard indy 500 geeks like me

so we had a good conversation about racing and stuff

she spoke very highly of the speedway and the hulman-george family

it was fun

I was so hoping you were going to say Eldon Palmer (is he still alive?)

[Truth Detector]

Cool story, 9rows.

Eldon Palmer is still alive last I heard. If I voice my opinion of him it might get me a vacation so I won't.
