The Race Action Should be Here?

I was taking my son to school this morning; and noticed that the Coca-Cola field was empty? The only thing in the field is Port-a-potty’s lining the field. There were a few vendors at the corner of 25th and Georgetown Rd. It was like a ghost town, in all reality where the fans in this time frame of the week are? Look the race is this Sunday on the 27th of May, right? I know that everyone has looked at the same thing as they drive down the road, haven’t they? I did notice the news last night through in a free advertising spot, which tickets are still in need for someone to buy them? Am I in the twilight zone? This is the Indianapolis 500 mile race, right? I am such a fan of this great race, that I have not even paid any attention to the emptiness of this great action so far this month. What happened to all the great partiers? What happened to all the great fans that line the streets with hope of seeing an Indy 500 driver? What happened to the great young fans that line the race track for an autograph of anyone that looks like something to do with anything with a race team. Look I am not bashing anything here. I am such a serious fan that I also invest in this great sport. I think that times have changed in so much that twitter and facebook has made us forget that children need to see this live. Drivers of this great sport are getting out there to sign autographs, but not around the race track, like when I was a child. Yes every driver has a commitment to expand the fan base of this great racing series that Izod has spent major money in this fact, of building the fans around this sport. What happened to corporate parties around the race track during the down time? Yes there have been a few parties here and there, but what about the fans that buy the product and support these great drivers, and this sport? (On another note) Ed Carpenter is an Indianapolis 500 race car driver born and raised in this city of Indianapolis, Indiana. He made this great race again this year. The mayor of Indianapolis should shut down a street and have a party just in his celebration of this fact. It’s the Super Bowl of racing and one of our own is in this race again. I am so proud of all the drivers in this 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 mile race. But; Ed Carpenter is a really from here, not a transit to hopefully get a ride in some race car. Or; to get a special deal from the State of Indiana over a Chassie, because his race-shop is in Indianapolis. Hello he was born and raised here in Indianapolis, Indiana. The mayor should have an Ed Carpenter day this week, what happened on that? When the Colt’s do great, or the Pacers do something good, they have a big party downtown. Ed Carpenter is one more time one of the 33 drivers of this year’s Indianapolis 500 mile race, and we in Indianapolis are just saying, well ok good job Ed Carpenter. I am saying to everyone in this city, we have a real person from this city in this year’s Indianapolis 500. It’s time to open the zipline, open a bottle of Fuzzy’s bottles, with some tonic. Look let’s get a band in the streets and party for one of our one born and raised here in this great city. Just the trial of raising funds to be one of the drivers in this 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 mile race is crazy in itself. I am proud of this great race car driver Ed Carpenter for doing just what he does, drive and he drives very well. Indianapolis, Indiana it’s time to get behind one of our own, Ed Carpenter! Yes let the parties start strong! From: Jim Gandolf
