Thanks, Glenn. Can't wait. I taking my 12 yr old daughter. This will be her 5th race. She is on a course to outdo me. I went to my first at 12. I'm working on catching my late parents. They went to 43 consecutive (1949-92)

Congrat's Solomon on that 40th race. I will be attending Indy today for the 30th consecutive race. ('73 to present). Open wheel drivers are the best in the world, certainly better than the stockers. (several Indy car drivers have won the Daytona 500, I can't remember a NASCAR driver who ever even qualified for Indy, Also, several of the best NASCAR drivers got thier start in open wheel. ie. Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon) I don't mean this as a put down to the NASCAR boys as I enjoy stock car racing also and usually try to go to three or four Winston Cup events every year. But, you just can't beat the Indy 500, especially that first lap when all 33 cars come roaring down the track in formation - the greatest moment in sports.
