... where it says:Some here:

It sounds as if there might be many more Indy winners celebrating the centenary at Goodwood than at Indy itself, judging from some of T54's recent posts. If so, this is a very poor show by the Indianapolis organisers.The Festival will also mark the 100th anniversary of the first Indianapolis 500 with over 30 winning Indy Cars on display.
But I'll not complain too much ...

Derek Daly (who lives in Indianapolis) told me last week that with only 9 US drivers starting the 500 last year (Is that so?!?!), interest in the race in the states is at an all time low.

Those really early cars are fascinating to look at.

The Wiki entry on the race confirms nine US drivers in the race, just one more than the number of Brazilians:Derek Daly (who lives in Indianapolis) told me last week that with only 9 US drivers starting the 500 last year (Is that so?!?!), interest in the race in the states is at an all time low.

I do hope Mr George is pleased with his achievements at Indianapolis in the last fifteen years.

If Buford was still with us, I'm sure he'd come up with a more colourful expression of those sentiments.

There are already Indy winners on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum with more for public viewing starting this Sunday.
I also posted this in the 100th anniversary IMS thread, apologies for the repeat, but some may have missed it. Emphasis below added by B²
Winning cars on display
The showroom of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum comes alive with only Indianapolis 500-winning cars Sunday, and that's how it will stay until June 1.
Sixty-seven cars representing 71 wins will be on display, including the entire Penske Racing collection that normally resides in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The Speedway display includes all four cars that won two races -- 1939-40, 1947-48, 1953-54 and 1957-58 -- and almost every winning car since 1939. Some recent winners are still in use.
Marco Andretti has used Dan Wheldon's 2005 winner each year in the 500 since, and Dario Franchitti's 2007 winner will be Ryan Hunter-Reay's backup car this year. Scott Dixon's 2008 winner will be his own backup. Franchitti plans to use last year's winner as his primary car.
The car that traveled the farthest for this display is Buddy Rice's 2004 winner, which normally is housed at the Honda Collection Hall at Motegi.
As part of the exhibit's opening, there will be an autograph session Sunday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. with Rick Mears, Bobby Unser, Al Unser Jr., Arie Luyendyk and Gil de Ferran. Admission is $5.
