INDY - the highs and lows

thomas sheehan · 08-06-2010, 07:13 AM

We are just weeks away from making our annual pilgrimage to the racing Mecca, otherwise known as INDY. I've had the "privilege" of attending/or racing at INDY since 1968. Over those years, the magic of INDY keeps bringing me (us) back year after year.
There are many highs (and lows), that contribute to us returning. Please share your highs and lows of this awesome event. I'll start it off with a few of the obvious ones.....

high - just qualifying for the ever-so-tuff field

low - having to get there on the saturday before (10 days early) just to beat the bowling green racers to a decent parking spot

high - seeing all the racers/cars from all over the country that don't make it east to often

low - being late and getting parked at the end of the track where our radio won't even pick up the tracks station
