This year I’m totally ready. I watch the race every year. It’s the only Indy-car racing we watch, but I never want to miss it. It’s a tradition. In fact it always seems to be over too quickly. I want to know more about who is running and what they’ve done to the equipment each year, but it always sneaks up and surprises me and I only tune in just in time to watch the race, sometimes not even until the middle. Well, this year I paid attention and found the television coverage. Last Saturday we watched the fastest 24 qualify, then the fastest 9 of those compete for the pole position. Sunday the other 9 cars qualified for the back of the pack, completing the 33 car field. On the television coverage they talked to drivers, mechanics, crew chiefs, team owners, used-to-be drivers. It was awesome. We got Indy 500 saturation. We’re totally ready for Sunday. (Well, Judy isn’t quite as ready as I am. She spent a fair amount of time out of the room.) So bring it on. Indy 500. Gentlepeople start your engines! Now, only 472 days until the America’s Cup finals in 2013.http://www.americascup.com/
