My Indy Practice in 1977


I want to explain my world and why the Lord is with us all. I was a 12 year old boy in May 1977 when my mother snuck me into the Indy 500 for a practice day. This was very early enough to get a great spot to see the cars in the infield. I did get my great spot to see the cars on the track through the forth turn, but it was so early about 3 hours too early. I looked at the clouds and I started to pray to see my first Indy 500. I prayed to the lord in his name. I only had to pray once in his name. I was told in a dream three days later to read two bible verses every night and I would get to go to Indy (the Race). Mom just did not have the money for the race but had the money for me to go to the practices.I did get to the 1978 Indianapolis 500 mile race, and many more. The Lord delivered to me in many ways about the 500 mile race. Many of you my friends have gone to this race with me. Now I will put a very good friend in a car this next year. The Lord delivers to everyone that ask in his name. Ask just only once he will hear you very well. Racing has been apart of my life with the Lord. My friends you are a part of my life with the Lord.
This will be a very good year !
