Indianapolis in May!

I am glad that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was able to fill the field of 33 drivers; for the Indianapolis 500 mile race on the 27th of this month. What a joy it will be seeing some of the best drivers in the world heading down the most famous race track in the world. I was nervous of the rumors of their not being 33 cars in the starting lineup this weekend. Sunday; will be the best race in a long time, why? I am sure that for this reason alone, Izod Indy car racing series has made sure this year will be full of excitement. The look in everyone eyes to get the last car in the starting field yesterday, was a wonderful site. I looked over at the first turn, and did get a great feeling as Ed Carpenter (The Indianapolis born, and still lives in Indianapolis, IN driver) got in the race this year. I noticed that the weather this year so far has been wonderful for the fans. I know that being a race fan is hard with all the parking rules and who, and what can go where within a race track. Then we were all blessed with a great race practice running of the 33 starting cars until Friday (which is carb day at the speedway). I am pleased with the results of the racing so far this year at the speedway. The 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 mile race cars ready; I mean all 33 driver and hello cars with motors will start this year’s race! I had a very busy weekend; with Johnnie’s (my nephew) birthday party Friday night bash. Plus the Logstons great family get together on Saturday night! Which I might add some of the best country music (Live) I have heard in a long time! Then the news of the Sunday action at the speedway of the 33 cars and drivers in this year’s Indy 500. I have seen old friends at the speedway, and have made new friends at the race track this year. So far this has been a wonderful month. The 500 Festival Parade; is this coming Saturday, then the race is on Sunday the 27th at 12 noon eastern time, fans. I am so proud of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on getting everyone on the same page. What a way to have the excitement that went on with Pole day alone on last Saturday at the speedway. The fans had so much excitement over the last few minutes on pole day at the speedway. I was speechless; really what a great show. The race should even be better. The starting lineup can be read on just about any web site or newspaper. I just wanted to say to everyone that this has been a great month so far, at the greatest race track in the world the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! Jim Gandolf
