  Fuck off, vinceygirl. You lied about military service in Vietnam and are just trying to deflect from that issue here.

  If anyone ever had any doubt about the viability of ethanol, Indy 500! As I know, three liter flat crank V8's, 10,000 RPM, and 650hp. Enjoy yourself Vince! SJG

  And the sound as they rip by at 225 mph, that's two of the attractions of open wheel racing.

  Conundrum, the best seats are on the front stretch coming up to the finish line. They are the most expensive, but on the infield which is free, my favorite spot is on the second turn. In the beginning of the race, that's where things often get crazy as the tires aren't fully warmed up. I like the first turn also on the infield, you are next to the garages and you can watch the crews getting the cars ready or repaired during the race. It's a long race, and there's plenty of time to do many things.

  I've been to about 30 Indy 500's and will be there next week. Always a fun time!

  The wrecks keep on coming. That was a wild crash today in practice. At the last Indy 500 I went to, final seconds of the race, a driver lost it and smashed into the wall at the end of the race and car came apart. The carbon reinforced driver compartment saved him, but there were just tiny pieces of car everywhere.
