Rapid Roy (recorded at Indianapolis Motor Speedway)

Here's another 70s cover song on guitar to kick off the week. I recently made the trek to Indiana and visited Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is a special place for me because my dad and I always watched the race together when I was a kid. Seeing some of these things nearly brought tears to my eyes. So many great memories!

Rapid Roy was originally recorded by Jim Croce and is reportedly about Roy Hall.

Those memories are super important. Racing is life as they say.

I enjoyed the song Kale! It brought back memories of trips with my dad to Darlington and Dover Downs to see the stock car races. Good times!!!
