In Indy
There’s some sort of racing event tomorrow. Never been and never followed the sport. Should be fun. On the way here, an odd thing happened. I drove badly in Ohio, which is the opposite of what usually happens.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Have fun Unc!
I’ve never followed racing much either. Watching cars drive around, and around, and around, in a circle tends to make me dizzy. 🙂

Hope you brought your ear plugs! And sunscreen!!! 🙂

So the last good driver in Ohio finally bit the dust.

You might consider on your way home taking I-65 to I-64 in Louisville and across to I-75 in Lexington. It’s about the same distance as going by Cincinnati, but the road is better. And that way you can stop at the Liquor Barn at Hurstborn (http://www.liquorbarn.com/Locations) which is a bourbon wonderland.

Indy racing is in a class by itself. I used to love it for the technology.

Yeah, I can hardly wait til the start of the race. GO Raikonnen!

Oh wait, you mean there’s another race going on? Besides Formula 1 at Monaco? You’re kidding, right?

There is much more to racing than the round and round the oval kind. There is the road track kind, the straight for a quarter mile kind, the true road course kind (like rally), and the more or less cross country kind (like Baja and Dakar).
It’s all good.
Three major races today: F1, Indy, and NASCAR. Many more minor events all over the globe, including Rally.

Aren’t we the snooty ones, though. All experts, too.
Stand in the infield of turn 1 at a dirt track mile and tell me American race cars don’t turn right. What’s that you say, you’ve never been to a dirt track mile? Hmmm.

I’m betting everything on Sabulba! Sabulba always wins!
May 25th, 2014 at 11:28 am
Racists!

I am ashamed to know it is spelled “Sebulba”.

I can’t for the life of me, understand why everyone get’s so excited about that restricted regional on 16th st. every year.

I miss Group B.

Lived here all my life, been to “carburetion” day once, seen the museum a couple of times, never went to the race.

Wow, you are going the wrong way to get to Charlotte, NC.

My wifes father ( The late great Ted Horn ) is in the Indy Hall of Fame. So the race is kind of an institution around our house.
Myself, I was watching a replay on the Net of the opening of Pro Moto Cross at Glen Helen. Being a retired racer of the two wheelers…

I spent the weekend, as we do every Memorial Day, at Charlotte Motor Speedway with close friends.
If I wasn’t there, I would be at Indy.
I got interested in racing the same time I did guns, thanks to my father.

Linoge, Fret Not! I was too lazy to look it up. Otherwise, I would have. Then there’d be 2 of us that know.
