In the build up to the race in the last ten or so years you hear more talk about the past than you do about how everyone is looking forward to what is coming up. Why is that?
They didn't promote, market or have a 50th race theme.
They did promote "50 years" of the event though.

sorry you are right, it was a 50th year theme, my mistake for using the wrong word
here is the
1984 pre race tribute to the big bangers
and the cover to 1992, which for some reason is promting a 30th theme
