We had great seats at
Indy, in the
NorthWest corner, so we had a prome view of the retirements: the 4 car crash in the first lap out of the first turn, the gear box failures, the tire deflations, and the
Jaguar that caught fire. The only thing we didn't see well was
R. Schumacher's crash in the oval. The funniest parts were when a driver would forget to break early enough and drive through the grass to the track after the first turn. Kind of like I do on Mario Kart, but they didn't get a mushroom to go through the rough faster.
With 60% of the field retiring, it was a very exciting race, even if the
red team won and the
blue team crashed and was
disqualified. TCB wants to go to Monaco, but he saw more action here.
At the end of the day, the red won twice- I got to show TCB just how much I burn with sunscreen on. My arms and shoulders look like they've been taped off where my shirt was and painted red and my face shows the shape of my sunglasses. Not going to Football today if I can't wear a shirt. Sometimes 30+ just isn't enough.
