May 25, 2014:
Awakened by announcements and activity inside the track, just a couple hundred yards away. Big line for the Legion buffet, but good eating and bacon very crispy.
Much easier entry this time. Last year some folks got in right as the race began.
Climbed way up to our seats on the catwalk, as far up as you can go right between the first and second turns. Great seats, but now up to $186 (from $150).
The new race listing of top 16 cars made it easier to keep up with the "angry bees" going around track. Overall, I knew who was leading most of the time and would recognize them as they zipped by. I was pulling for James Hinchcliffe and Ed Carpenter who were right in the running for most of the race.
For 149 laps there were no caution flags so they were really driving hard. The last 51 laps, however, a bit rougher with a lot of crashes. Worst for me was when my two guys crashed into each other and slid over to right in front of us. Carpenter was ready to punch out Hinchcliffe when he got out of his wrecked car.
Ryan Hunter-Reay won the race.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
