Indy 500!

[JWS]

The Indianapolis 500 is tomorrow. Who is watching? It's the biggest spectacle in all of sports with over 300,000 attending. There are three women drivers this year with Danica Patrick a favorite. GO DANICA!

Just got back from the night before the race party.
Dude, I'm getting old.
When I was a teenager, at 3 am night before the race, I'd be trashed and ready to go on another walk. Here I am at thirty, had a few shots and a couple of beers, only went out to walk once, and already home in bed at 3 am.

I'll listen to it on the radio tomorrow, because they delay showing it on tv here until later on at night. Hell, who knows... I might just see if my girls want to go tomorrow. General Admission tickets are only $20.... it'll give us something to do.

GO DANICA!!!

**haha!
On a side note, one of my friends was saying that the crowd keeps getting younger and younger every year... i told her it was just us getting older... haha!

What is "out to walk"? Where? Is this some sort of tradition in Indianapolis?

Danica didnt won, no surprise!!! I feel she hasnt shown the potential that everyone seems to see in her - One win means not much these days.

Oh well, The Indy 500 spectacle isnt what it once was...Which is sad, but nooones fault other than the IRL.


THANK GOD the Coca-Cola 600 is coming on now...Make ya a bet Danica will be in a COT sooner than later since all the main stars of open wheel racing head to where the $$$ is at (Even after most promise not to leave), NASCAR!!!

I hope not. The last thing NASCAR needs is her PMSing after every race because someone moved her out of the way.

Don't you mean "all the main stars of open wheel racing who aren't good enough for Formula One"?

They close down streets where everyone goes out to party. And what a drunken party it usually is. It's pretty hilarious. I'll post pictures soon.

Please do. I guess this is similar to Derby parties in Louisville....a whole week of festivities.
