"500 Miles The Book" is off to the editors !


This is a wonderful tribute to the heroes of my childhood and adult life to this point, as well as many other men and women in the world. The race car drivers of the Indianapolis 500 to this day, drive my heart and the hearts of many others throughout the world of motor sports. There have been so many race car drivers that have lost their lives at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is always such a tragedy, but in a way they have helped pave the way for our safety. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is about ten minutes west of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. So many people have heard about the race activities in the month of May that the press and media from all over the world bombard the city during the races. The entire world wants to see their favorite driver or team hit the track. In May the preparation for the Indy 500 creates the greatest set of events. It starts with practicing to qualify for the race, then the art of practicing for the actual race, then carburetion day where all the teams can get themselves set for pit stops and any minor adjustments before race day. In this process there have been many actual race drivers who have lost their wonderful lives.
This book is a fictional story of some very powerful experiences on the Westside of Indianapolis,Indiana that has a five hundred mile race once a year since 1911. This book was written by Jim Gandolf.
