Thanks Paul. I will keep the SWV seats and try for Paddock Penthouse seats next year.

Personally, I would keep the SWV seats over the Paddock seats, especially since you are in a good high row. The only Paddock seats I would go for would be in the first few rows of the Paddock Penthouse.

Though in the Paddock you have a good view of pit stops and pre/post race activity, the fencing can really block the view of the track when you look toward turns 1 or 4, especially if you are too low, in which case you might also have trouble seeing the cars directly in front of you. If you are too high in the Paddock, the overhang of the upper section can make you feel like you are watching through a tunnel (though it does also provide shade and protection from rain).

I have three tickets for the 2010 Indy 500 and am considering switching seats. Currently I am in SWV Sec. 16 Row EE. Would a Paddock section 31 seat be better? I am bit confused by the Paddock sections. Any insights would be helpful.

To John Potts :

You did hear my father sing this at the Hut Hundred…but it would have been after 1962..(when the song was written)..as a side note..my father loved racing as well as music..and had a few notes jotted down for a song about Hurtubise..but never finished it..!

To Mary:

I know my father would have been so glad for you to appreciate his work..! The tune of “Jimmy Bryan” is captivating…and I find myself too..humming..or singing the words from time to time.!

To Pogo:

Thank you for your comments regarding my father’s song of “The Ballad of Jimmy Bryan” Here’s a tidbit of information…..The 500 Museum..DID have copies of this for sale…..in 1963.! I’ll bet there’s no one still there who remembers THAT..! - funny how time flys..46 years..! (I was 8 years old..!)
I have the original master of this song and we are thinking of re-releasing it on CD…we have to do some marketing tests and see if there is enough interest to justify the cost…

THANKS TO ALL - !

Thank you for answering all my questions about The Ballad! And letting me hear it for the first time in about 45 years. I started paying attention to The Race in 1961. Or was it 1962? WIBC (home station of Sid Collins) played it during the month of May in ‘64 and ‘65 (or maybe ‘63 and ‘64). And I started investigating the history of the race and the track! Today is the first time ever I’ve found anyone who even remembers that there was such a song, and the last place I asked was at the 500 Museum.

It probably would have been a good idea to have her practice for about 20-30 min before the actual shoot. Glad she was ok.

I have aquired tickets to the Brickyard 400. I have been to the raceway park for the nationwide series in the past but never to the speedway. The seats are located in the Paddock Penthouse, Box 25, Row H, Seats 3-4. Can you repley and tell me if these are good seats or not? Thank you!
