The 1973 Indianapolis 500 Amongst the lovely things that happened: - Endless postponements because of rain - A beloved veteran killed in practice - An almost fatal pileup on the start (The guy who caused it ended up addicted to pain medication & turned to crime) - A pit crew worker got run over & killed in the pits in front of the main grandstand & TV/radio broadcast booths - A young up-and-comer had a wreck after leading the race for the first time, and was recovering when he received a tainted blood sample a month later & died - His teammate is in the lead when the race is stopped due to rain, and despite trying to win for years can't enjoy it when it happens. It's an amazing story about the pointlessness of high-risk sports & the people who realise this, but do them anyway.
