Foreword by Willy T. Ribbs

This is the preamble of my upcoming book, "The Legend of the First Super Speedway, the Battle for the Soul of American Auto Racing."
 

Preamble By Mark Dill
 

This 12-page memoir was written by my father at some early point in my childhood back in the 1960s. His ambition was to write a book, but life with an engineering career and two boys to raise with my mother took priority. While this is a personal interest of mine, I wanted to include it at First Super Speedway because this is a recount of a boy growing up in Indianapolis during the 1930s and 1940s and therefore relevent to the historical context of life decades ago in the home of the capital of auto racing.
