I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis visiting my sister and her family. While there, we also took in the Indy 500. Now I am not a big race fan. But this was some spectacle. Over 250,000 at one event! The crowd was definitely supportive of Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher's attempt to win it. Neither finished. The 33 cars that started the race use 100% ethanol.
It is good to see patriotism in action. Prior to the race, members of our armed services are motored around the track in slick Chevy pick ups. As they went around everyone stood and applauded. Very touching.
