Great photos. I'd love to meet Tom Sneva, what a character. Even though he won the 500 and was the first to qualify over 200 MPH, I still don't think he gets enough credit for his accomplishments at Indy.

He's usually around during the month of May. Ran into him at the Flag Room once or twice.

When I was taking these pictures last year, there was an 11 or 12 year old boy that didn't know who the "Gas Man" was. Everything started when the little boy asked, "who's that?" Another fella said, "son, that's the Gas Man!" Mr. Sneva's eyes got big and the fun started! One story after another. I don't think that boy will ever forget who Tom Sneva is! For that matter, up until then I was not much of a Sneva fan, but I don't think I'll forget him either. It's only a few times in my life that I ever laughed that hard.
