How about campers at the Clermont Drive-in... (someone already mentioned this one...)

09 was my first Indy actually competing. What an Event!

Highs

Feeling like a little kid for 2 months before getting ready!
Seeing all the bad boys lined up in tech and Garlits pulling right beside me in tech!
Running class!
Meeting all kinds of new people!
BBQ with freinds and family!
Getting a class finalist decal!

Lows
The longest wait and line I have ever seen lol, to get in the gates.
Hurting my motor.
Not qualifying.

I can't wait until Indy 11 I will be watching this year with no car and it sucks ,but the new motor is coming along and will be done next year.

Mr. Tosto.... good luck next year.
I know you'll be back.

another high..... was sitting in the old bleachers at indy (prior to the new aluminum ones). I was sitting three rows in front of the famed "1000 foot club" group of fans. All of a sudden I heard a familiar voice in the group of fans.... it was none other than the voice of Bret Kepner (at that time... i believe he was the voice of IHRA). Even Bret was taking in the pagentry of INDY.
