Well, I’m back
from Indy. Wow, what a race. Record number of lead changes (35) among ten
different drivers. That’s amazing. Slightly disappointed in ended under a
yellow, but hey, the guy was going for the lead on the final lap of the Indy
500. Can’t blame them.
I was pulling for
Ed Carpenter in that final stretch, then Tony Kanaan, but Dario is a worthy
champion. He can be abrasive at times, and sure his wife can get annoying after
a while, but he gets Indy.
The other thing
about this weekend was it was HOT. They said it was only 91 on Sunday, but they
take that temp at the airport. Must be under a tree, too. It couldn’t have been
less than 95 at the track. Track temp was in the 130s. Fortunately our seats
are in the shade, so we managed OK. Lots of water and Gatorade consumption. The
day before we sat around in the shade a lot. I did get to the memorabilia show
and saw some of my fellow Indycar modelers, which is nice. It’s always good to
put faces with names. And as you can see from the photo, our accommodations are
for true race fans only. J
This was my 32nd
Indy 500. I’ll reorder my tickets this week for the same seats. I don’t know how
they will top this one, but then again, I say that every year. And somehow they
do.
Sounded like a damn good day.........
