I first attended Indy in 1996, flew back and spent the week hanging around Don Little's pit. I remember calling my Dad and telling him he had to come back one year, you just couldn't explain the magic unless you were there. We raced the Hemi's there from 2000-2006 (missed 2002) and it was so much fun. The humid weather was tough on us west-coasters and by Labor Day we were all worn out, but seeing all the cars, meeting racers we had only read about, the camaraderie of the racers, the expanded manufacturers' row, the Hemi Challenge parade, the great class racing we witnessed, well it was all so much fun.

In 2004 we didn't have enough grade points to get our drivers entered, so had Jeggie drive for us. Now it's a few weeks away and nowhere near a full field. Times have sure changed!

Best wishes to all racing there this year. I look forward to all the "live" reports!
