An Indy Car in Indy

Although I have some favorite sports, I follow pretty much every sport (okay, maybe not cricket or polo, but most), including auto racing.  As a kid I liked watching the Indy 500.  Mario Andretti was my favorite driver and Emerson Fittipaldi was my least favorite.  Tonight I landed in Indianapolis for a meeting tomorrow in southern Indiana, and there was an Indy 500 car on display in the airport.  It was one of Bobby Unser's cars from the 1979 Indy 500.  It was the backup car, not the one used in that race, but he did use it in other races that year.  I didn't exactly swoon over it, but it was still pretty cool to see an actual Indy car up so close.
