VINTAGE 1982 BUDWEISER CLEVELAND 500 INDY RACE POSTERS
BRAND NEW OUT OF BULK BOXES OF (100)--PROTECTED OVER 30 YEARS IN ORIGINAL BOX HIDDEN AWAY IN STORAGE
1ST YEAR OF THE CLEVELAND OHIO INDY RACES  1982
ONLY IN 1982 & 1983 WAS THE INDY RACE CALLED THE BUDWEISER CLEVELAND 500.  THE 500 STANDS FOR 500 LAPS.  BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS A NEW LOCATION TO THE INDY CIRCUIT, DRIVERS WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE TRACK.  (1) LAP AROUND THE TRACK IS HORRENDOUSLY LONG WITH A RECORD AMOUNT OF TURNS.  THE RACE IS ALWAYS THE WEEK OF THE 4th OF JULY, SO ITS VERY HOT IN CLEVELAND AT THAT TIME.  ALL THAT SAID, DRIVERS WERE DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE THE FIRST 2 YEARS.  THEY COULD NOT FINISH DUE TO THE HEAT.  DRIVERS WOULD MAKE PIT STOPS SO THE PIT CREW COULD DUMP 5 GALLON BUCKETS OF ICE INTO THE INDY CAR COCKPIT--THATS HOW BAD IT WAS.  AS A RESULT OF THIS, IN 1984, THEY RENAMED THE RACE THE CLEVELAND GRAND PRIX.  THE LAPS WERE MORE THAN CUT IN HALF, AND SOME OF THE TREACHEROUS TURNS WERE ELIMINATED BY ADDING RACE TRACK IN AREAS.
SO AS A RESULT, THE 1982 & 1983 POSTERS, PROGRAMS, ETC.  ARE AUTOMATICALLY WORTH MORE.
