| Indianapolis Motor Speedway INDY 500 Carburation Day Thursday - May 22, 2003 |
Brian and Joy came by this morning and picked up Ron and I
around 9:30. We headed to Speedway, and got caught in a little
bit of traffic. In 20 minutes of waiting in line, we got out onto 16th
Street and over to the IRL offices to pick up our pit passes. We
parked in that lot for free and walked into the track.

By the time we hiked up to Gasoline Alley,
it was already 11 o'clock and time to hit the pits.
We strolled back and forth and enjoyed the
sights, sounds and smell of burning rubber.
At noon, we left the pits to go to the restroom.
At this point I got seperated from the gang.
I toured the garage area alone.
I stopped and talked to Mike - one of the Alley Cats.
Eventually I called Brian's cell phone and met back
up with them.

What is that weird thing next to the tank?
I'm guessing it's a weather station.

After a rainy cold May, today was sunny

sunburned at the track today.
The place was packed!
