Thanks. You had a much better view than I did. I was a first time ticket buyer too and applied for Stand A, as soon as tickets went on-line but ended up in the Paddock Box. There was a screen directly opposite but it wasn't that big. Sour grapes, just a tad. If I ever go back then Stand E. Otherwise, just to be there and see history being made was fantastic! |

It's always easy to say that "this was my first but won't be the last" but I've never attended the same race twice, except the Goodwood events in UK. Some of my colleagues at work think I've lost my marbles, since this was the fourth North American race weekend for me. Though I don't get that point, despite the activity at the track, on the outside there is still different architecture, different food, shops, cheaper beverages, usually better climate etc. |

I've been to Le Mans three times but going back to Indy? I would love to one day but getting there was a bit of a mission; four flights in all. So maybe the 105th? |

Great video Lanky! Very impressed you hung out for
the kissing of the bricks. You really get the sense of the T1 speed. 2 and 3 wide. Feel bad for Munoz, he was tore up. Good catch there. Sounds like all you guys did the race right! Congrats. |

Little bit OT a week and half after the race weekend. I checked my credit card statement today. I noticed that I had refueled my rental car in Gary, IN.
No wonder the surroundings of the gas station looked so post-apocalyptic. |
