I attend the Indianapolis 500 every year. We went to every Indy Car event held at Chicagoland. We were deeply saddened when Chicagoland was dropped from the Indy Car schedule. One of the best races I have ever seen involving any type race car at any track on any type track surface was at Chicagoland. We went to Milwaukee several times when it was on the schedule. We attended an Indy Car event at California several years ago. Back in 1997 we went to Gateway for the CART event there on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend and then drove over to Indianapolis the next morning for the 500 only to have it completely rained out on Sunday and again on Monday after only 15 lasp. They ended up running it in it's entirety on Tuesday morning.
We're thinking seriously about going to Iowa for the first time early in July for the Indy Car race out there. Heard a lot of good things about the Iowa race and the facility.
On a side note, we'd love to see Sebastien Bourdais and Dale Coyne win another race or two and the championship. Or at least be in contention all season. Dale Coyne Racing is a team that deserves some success. Some very bad luck at Phoenix last week was a huge setback but hopefully they can rebound from it. It was very gratifying to see DCR leading the points over the Penske's and Ganassi's, even if only for a couple of weeks.
