"Walked out to where? They let him leave without checking him? Can anyone say lawsuit?"
He was being escourted by safety officials. I'm sure they're taking him inside the track for medical evaluation.
I am sure they are taking him to get checked out, photographed and to sign a waiver. That is what happens at baseball and hockey games.
Not if they give him the wing. :)
Gotta leave for a bit. Ran out of propane for the barbie. I'd rather miss a bit of Indy than NASCAR. Everything on the barbie today.............. Tri Tip, chicken breasts, jumbo shrimp skewers, corn on the cob, cut-up spuds in tin foil with seasoned salt, butter............ chili beans on the burner..... lotsa beer, big screen on the patio and about 10 adults.
Funny..Micheal is right behind Marco. I wonder if he will pass him.
Check your FRmail

I tried that this morning.
She told me to keep my hands to myself. :(
This is the hottest day in Indy history? did I hear that right?
96 degrees, track temp 125
Just might, we're still trying to figure out what to cook. Somebody is slacking!
Michael has no onboard guages functioning. Good thing he has 15 years of experience.
That's 5 in 2 days counting Busch and Trucks.
