Yes it was my first and I would like to make it back. I was surprised at how nice the track looks. You see more than the cameras show, the wooded areas that is. The corners are banked more than I thought also. I may look into going for the qualifying. I understand that is the time you can get to see more. The heat was on but it was dry and breezy. Nothing I'm not used to being from ATL. We drove from Evansville, IN, now that area is hot and humid. I never knew an area in the midwest would typically see 100's in the summer. We screwed up with the time, who would think Evansville is one hour earlier than Indy time. Traffic overall was not that bad considering how many people go.

You really get a feeling of the rich history at Indianapolis. They talked of Barrichello's experience for the first time. Saying you can't get the whole picture from a TV. You have to go see it live. Rubens Barrichello felt very honored to be racing at Indy.
