This sign was in Ballard, part of Seattle. You saw it on the horizon as you came up from the Ballard Bridge.

It was lit up at night and said...

ADD BARDAHL

then it would change to...

ADD IT TO YOUR OIL

It was a landmark. There were some Bardahl's Specials at the Indy 500 over the years.

Seeing three racers killed within a few hours of each other was pretty hard to take. I was a fan, although there was only occasional TV coverage back then. I haven't been able to watch another hydroplane race since.

Don't mind the nose job, but there seems to have been some maintenance issues.

If they do this a couple more times it will get down to my budget level.
