Watching these guys go through turns maybe close to twice as fast as I did was a marvel. Course last year I had a different car, it was my first year and I was a wus! The sound is so cool from high above as they go by. This is a family owned business so after walking around in the pit area for a couple of hours and being scorched we went into their room next to the media center and hung before pre race activities started. The interesting thing was when Indy split up years ago Doc got into a disagreement with the one organization and told them to go pound sand. He refused repeated entreaties by Indy to come back. He died last year and the new management, family members, brought Indy back. They sell about 140,000 tickets to a NASCAR event. They sold 40,000 to this. The stands hold 76,000 people. So it looked empty today.
