Unfortunately, Forty-six years ago Today, Art
Pollard lost his life during a qualifying attempt for the Ill-fated 1973
Indianapolis 500. For which it was George Phillips, Thee Elder Statesman of IndyCar Bloggers who
introduced me to him posthumously many years ago.
As I was simply amazed over Art's Off the
Track efforts with Handicapped Children, not to mention his overall good nature and was surprised to
learn that he was a transplanted Oregonian...
As this Song's for
You, Art'
