Me

Posted on 05/27/2018 8:19:49 AM PDT by God luvs America

The 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500- the greatest race in the world!!! Hometown and VP Pence family favorite Ed Carpenter sits on pole, the only driver to turn a lap in excess of 230MPH during qualifying. Marco Andretti has been strong the entire month of May but slipped in qualifying. Final race in the career of Danica Patrick, which will be covered annoyingly today. Gentlemen- Start Your Engines!!

Why did they tweak cars so they lose control going into turns? Less pull to the ground to induce more accidents?

Never got into auto racing but one time back in the 1980s, I went to a NASCAR race in California while I was in the Marines. There was an extra ticket and I was invited to go.

I must say, it opened my eyes. I now understand the appeal. Seeing a live car race is nothing like on TV - my senses were on overload with all the noise and smell of motor oil. Not to mention the smell of grilled meats from the concessions. I had a lot of hot dogs and beer. I was also close enough to the action where there was a real danger of flying debris from wrecks but I understand NASCAR has never had a spectator death but they have had spectators injured so you had to pay attention.

It was a fun time.

I always wanted to see her win one Indy500, but it just never happened.

Not the way you want to go out. But, stuff happens.

That was pretty much her routine too, for her stint with NASCAR.
