Default Brickyard is expecting as many as 75,000 fewer people this weekend - 07-25-2009 , 07:36 PM






Due to anger over what happened there last year with the tires and the
overall
down economy.

Whay go there to watch a race to begin with, you cannot see the whole
track.
One of the biggest thrills of my live was going to the Indy 500 and
sitting in turn 4. We _all_ jumped for joy when Mario Andretti lost
his engine in front of us. That was the year that a car crashed
entering turn 3 and a wheel got over the fence and beheaded a fan in
the top row. We saw it happen and knew some one was hurt bad but did
not find out till later that he was killed. The family did not sue.

True race fans.

I'm grateful I got to go when the cars were fast and different (CART),
not this silly IRL show. However it someone gave me free
transportation and tickets I would get on the plane tonight.

Which means they'll have something like 150,000 or 175,000 in
attendance. Which will make it the highest attendance for any
race this year, most likely.

and maybe your plane would suffer a tragedy DAVe, either going to or
going back from the race, you didn't seem to broke up, DAVe, about
Mario's misfortune - which makes you a bit of a troll - or the
misfortune of that unfortunate beheaded person - which makes you an
idiot, fool, and infidel.

"The family did not sue. True race fans."

Likewise, we can be sure, DAVe, that your family would not sue were
you to die tragically either at the race, or intransit either before
or after the race.

Enjoy your karma, DAVe. You are an idiot, redneck!
