Sunday marks my favorite day of the entire year. It will be race day in Indianapolis.
You see, I've been listening to the Indianapolis 500 since I was a wee lad, for my father had the radio on each and every day that qualifications were held, and especially on race day.
I am a full-fledged IndyCar and Indianapolis 500 fan starting in the early 70's.
So, if any of you were wondering why I won't be posting most of Sunday, I'll be in Turn 1 at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, watching the Greatest Spectacle In Racing...the Indianapolis 500.
I just can't wait to hear the Purdue marching band play taps, to hear Jim Nabors sing Back Home Again In Indiana, see the B-2 stealth bomber during the flyover after Taps, see the new Chevy Camaro convertible Pace Car streak down the race track with the field of 33 cars, three abreast in eleven even rows, following behind...
The race starts at noon, Indiana time, so break out the radio or flip on the television. ABC will be airing the race.
Anyone else love the Indy 500?
Anyone else tuning in on Sunday?
