Indy 500

[pink]

Anyone going to watch it today?

 

[Skiddles2014]

Not today.

I have paint I want to see dry.

I guess I'll be the only one watching it.

 

[Greenwavelawyer]

I will be watching.

Montoya is racing... that should be good for at least one wreck.

The Monaco race was this morning, then the Indy this afternoon, then NASCAR.

But it's a nice day out... so I'll just have to check in and out and see what's going on.

120 laps into the 200 lap, 500 Mile Race, and nothing but green...

...the former Dancing with the Stars champ looks in good position to possibly join A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, Sr., and Rick Mears as the only 4-time winners of the Indianapolis 500.

 

[pointless]

how exactly do they manage to make going over 200 mph seem so mind numbingly boring? is it on purpose or do they simply not know any better?

Could be the 20 minutes of commercials every 20 minutes.

So many of the cars so evenly matched, these last 20 laps could be the most exciting Indy has ever seen...

 

[eyer]

And the stupidity rears itself right off the bat...

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Holy shit. Did you see that?

I lived miles from the track until I was 12 years old and never once went to see the Indy 500. I was more into dragsters, luckily I lived right across the street from the International Raceway Park ( now called the Lucas Oil Raceway Park).

The old drive in theater converted to campgrounds every year for the NHRA U.S. Nationals.

Somebody's getting lucky tonight.

Small world.. I used to sneak in there and watch movies for free when I was a kid.

Being a long time Mario Andretti fan, I was rooting for Marco, but it was an exciting finish.

The finish is the best part of many things.

I read somewhere that when the Indy finishes, the drivers weigh 4kg more on one side of their body because the constant g-force forces blood and other fluids to that side. The leg and arm on that side are nocibaly larger in size.
Apparently it takes up to 5 days for the lymph fluids and other stuff (except blood) to even out again.

I watch the race just to see if I can see this.

Indeed, it is !
