Indy 500 ~ Practice Day
Tuesay May 10, 2005

They let me park in media parking today. Another beautiful sunny day with a few clouds.

I'm happy to see that Indy 500 winner Buddy Lazier has gotten a ride for the 500. Here is his car with partial sponsorship from Jonathan Byrds Cafateria.

Dan Wheldon had the fastest time for the day - 226.808 mph!

Tomas Scheckter's platinum paint looked good in the sun. It is a special paint for Indy. Tomas' Panther racing car is usually yellow for Pennzoil. I guess Pennzoil has a "platinum" oil now.

I was sitting back drinking some beer and not worrying too much about taking photos today. I was over at Gasoline Alley when Tony Stewart, from Nascar, went zooming through twice in a golf cart. Fans yelled at him but he didn't even slow down. He thinks he's Mr. Bigshot now. He sure hasn't been doing good in Nascar this year.

Are not tattoos put on by someone repeatedly stabbing you with a needle? I hear its pretty painful. Today in the stands there was this guy who had a pretty massive amount of ink on his back. I found it amusing that when a little bug flew by, he jumped away like a little girl.
