I'm stoked!  I've got my annual chills for this race going on and I'm on edge.

Anyone else get affected by this race?  I've been to 3 of them and there's nothing like it.

My heart rate is up probably 15 beats.

I was born at Methodist and went to every time trial when I was a kid.  Just incredible memories.

I still love watching the 500.

But, I miss the old school days of Foyt, Johncock, Sneva, Unser, etc.

Thats just to keep the general pubic interested.

Theres some good stories floating around about her

We have a kart shop on gasoline alley. Lots of the same people are in karting that are in the other open wheel series.

Go to google and do an image search for Milka Duno. She's in the race today as well.

I think she's HOT.

Last time I was at the Indy 500 was in 1964 with my Grandfather. We were sitting in the stands just past the 4th corner and about 100' from where Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald were killed in this crash.

The Indy 500 is one of my favorite races, right up there with the Daytona 500. You can just feel the tradition emanting from this historic track.

I was hoping they could run the whole race without a caution, but it is only for debris. Maybe they can go the whole distance without a wreck.

The sad thing is that open wheel racing in America used to be interesting on its own merits before it became a Maxim Magazine sideshow.  I can still remember the 90s and fields made up of drivers like Montoya, Greg Moore, Jacques Villeneuve, Zanardi, ect.

Oh, well, at least Robert Kubica finished 2nd in the premier motorsports held this weekend.

I just got back from Roatan last night,  watched the Turkey GP last night, the Monaco GP this morning ( felt sad for Sutil ) and now the Indy.  What a good day.

Indy is a marathon.
Put her on cruise control for the first
300 miles than see what you got for the last 50 laps.
Hope to see turbo's in 09'

OMG what a freaking boring race… tortoises racing could generate more excitement.

ETA: And oh yea... Danica Patrick is in 8th place, does ABC know 8th place is not the leader... does ABC know there are other cars in the race?

Almost as boring as NASCAR.  Only watching in hopes to see Danica Patrick strip.  They should only flag the race to pick up the body parts.

I wish she would stfu.


eta Seriously, who the fuck wants to hear wtf she has to blame her performance on? I'm betting that her team punches the mute button every chance they get.

As much as I like NASCAR....Indy car races are just more exciting to me. Been to the 500 a couple times. Partied in the in-field. week long hang overs ensued.

I'm amazed that 30% of the drivers running today are rookies.

Jeez this is fucking awful Danica this and Danica that  Why is anyone else out there

F1, Bikes, or WRC is the only one that can keep my attention.

I am not a racing fan.  Can't watch NASCAR at all.  

But for some reason I find myself watching this race every year.  I have no idea why.  But I'm always here come race time. . .

Not sure what's up.

i don't know if you knew, but the Rahal's are one of the biggest pricks I have met, they live here in New Albany also. His wife or former wife IIRC Debbie Rahal got a DWI not too long by the cops here

So we will never shed a tear for there fuck ups!

ABC just interrupted the commercials to say that they are ending the race at this time due to Danica's absence.

No, she's out. This is fucking ridiculous, even with a race going on the cameras are following her everywhere.
