    The Indy 500 will be packed stands, I will be watching.

    During the 600 I will be watching reruns of Gilligan's Island, they are much more interesting. NASCAR is dying right in front of our eyes due to its insulting 90% of its fan base.

    Already watched the F1 race! Yep, now watching Indy (been there Four times), just like nearly every Year since 1961.

    Better to watch from home, as there is no wait for potty, and the food and drink is both more plentiful and cheaper!

    There was a Gomer Pyle moment with O Beautiful. When he started singing, wow, what a voice. Then they followed up with the woman and The National Anthem. She was twitching and off key. I think they should have had the first guy do the Anthem.

    And speaking of the Anthem, wish I had thought of this earlier.

    When those traitors were taking a knee, others should have just walked up and put their crotches in their faces and simulated sex while their hand over their hearts during the song.

    That would teach em. So I recant my previous "I would deck em" actions. Can't get arrested for assault this way and it shows their true subjugation, not any protest for value.

    We went down Friday to see a concert and stayed over night on monument circle. Stayed a little longer yesterday than planned to watch the parade. Now watching on TV.

    We talked about staying for a couple days next year and going to the race. Probably haven't been since 82 or 83 I guess.

    I should have turned it off after it was over. I just looked up to see a Japanese flag flying. Really?

    Disgusting, I guess even Indy is going the way of nascar. Done Watching it.

    In many countries if you fly any other flag above the country you are ins flag, it is a capitol offense.

    But I suppose, flying the American flag upsets too many people.

    Because of the time zones, I got up at 4:30 AM to watch the F1 race in Monaco.

    Then I went over to my brother's house to watch Indy together as we have been doing since Dad took us to see the closed circuit broadcast of the 1967 race with the STP Turbo car 40.

    Now I am home resting up to watch the Coca-Cola 600. Nascar is the least of the 3 races, but stuff with engines attracts car guys.

    That was one heck of a wreck that sent Scott Dixon's car flying. It disintegrated when it hit the wall but he walked away unhurt.

    I'm watching everything with a motor and tires this weekend. F1 was great, Indy was good too. Fernando Alonso showed no fear.

    How come we have no players doing Indy and Charlotte any more?
