Was doing laundry and happened to toss these two shirts down side by side and noticed that they have different start years. Just wondering why the difference.

As I understand it, 1967 was the "exhibition". First "real" race was 1968.

What I thought was weird when everyone was arguing whether it was the 50th anniversary or the 50th running is that 1968 to 2018 is 51 years. Count them on your fingers. So it had to be the anniversary. LOL
