I’m game for that. Break out the SR-71 to get from Monaco to Indy. The rest is just a little hopping around.

I’ve been to 4 of them. I think they can get 200 left soon before the next storm gets there so long as there is not too many yellows or reds.

Track drying looks to be done on time. Kyle Larson just shown on TV, he is staying and passing on the NASCAR race. If I were him I would do the same thing.

I’ve never been to a race at IMS but yes indeed took the tour and yes the museum is great. Seeing the place in real life was to me jaw dropping. Yeah the 500 is on my bucket list even though it’s a shadow of its former self.

Most definitely I would do the same thing. He’s spent a lot of time and Ricks money, Jet and Chopper fuel and mucho gusto.

There were times that I had to drive to San Antonio and back to the shop in Garland. In one day. Then an hour home.

Wore me out.

I was there for the hundredth running. I never had a bucket list but if I did that would be it. What an experience! Flew from Calgary to Toronto, picked up a Jag F-type (media review car) and headed down from there. Unbelievable!

Sat in turn four and the only real action I saw close up was Alexander Rossi coasting to a stop after he’d run out of gas.

Wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Intros done and Kyle is there with his children. It is a steep learning curve, but he is ahead of most wrecks on the start.
