Yet again, for the 2nd year in a row, this race is a focking waste of my time. Last time I watch it. Nine laps in there were 10-12 cars out of the race. Fun stuff. 
I think I will cut the lawn next year.

All I can say is this: Sitting in the stands at the start line when 22 F1 cars launch is like sitting through an 8.0 earthquake--no, wait, its like watching the space shuttle launch in person. Yes, the race became mundane, but watching Schumacher lap the track at a 1:12 pace is pretty impressive. it was too hot and I stopped drinking. That was probably a mistake.
Hey Ray, you could strap on a pair and bring your fancy camera to get some high speed shots of F1 cars. There is always time to take pictures of Steve and Chase in the woods.
F1 may not come back to the US.

I had a great weekend in Indy! The pure display of power in worth the trip, and Scott is right you have not lived until you sit in front of 22 F1 cars (20,000HP) launching off the rev-limitor!! I had a blast and hope that the contract in renewed, great track and unbelievable cars!

You have not lived until you have stepped out the door of a C141 into the blackness of night with 65 pounds of gear strapped to your belly. 
I am glad you fellas enjoyed your little car race.
