About Dru David

I can answer just about any question or give advice about the city of Indianapolis and its surrounding suburbs. I'd be happy to provide restaurant, hotel, and attraction recommendations based on what you're looking for.

Experience
I've lived here all my life, I've worked in the hospitality and tourism area downtown for several years. I'm very familiar with where things are in the city and what to do.

Question
-------------------------
Followup To
Question -
Who finished 5th in the 500 mile race of 1950, and for what was he better known?
Answer -
Johnnie Parsons won the race in 1950, I couldn't tell you who placed 5th. Why do you need to knwow who placed 5th, anyway?

A bet with an acquaintance. Joie Chitwood finished 5th, but was better known as the "Star" of the "Joie Chitwood Hell Drivers", a daredevil driving stunt show.

Well, I have STILL never known of, nor met an expert on ANY subject. You may give thought to changing the title of your endeavor.

Thanks for your timely reply.

Answer
Notice my expertise is in the actual city of Indianapolis, Indiana; not the race. There is more here in Indy other than the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

If you want a racing expert, then go there, and criticize them if they can't answer your question. I think it's a bit unreasonable to ask someone who answers questions about the city of Indianapolis a question about a race, just to put them down when they can't give you specific details, when it's not their area of expertise in the first place.

Though I appreciate your suggestion, I will not be "changing my title". I understand your frustration, but perhaps you should better research your options of experts next time.

Thanks for the insight on Joie Chitwood, and I hope you won the bet.

Best regards,
Dru David
