Enjoyed Indy 500 for my 34th time.

Enjoyed the steak 'n' eggs breakfast. It was better than ever.

Enjoyed the "Guys day out".

Did not enjoy the long wait to get through the gate. I figure if some nut wanted to ruin my day with a pressure cooker he could done it at the gate and not pay to get in.

Enjoyed watching Ed Carpenter race. I don't know what happened the 2nd half of the race but he had one of the fastest cars out there in the first half.

Enjoyed a race with MANY lead changes.

Enjoyed Tony Kanaan's win. He sure paid his dues.

Made it back at 6:01. Another record.

Lots of empty seats. Will the price increase for 2014 hurt. I think so.

Some food for thought. 68 lead changes, pass and repass, possible GWC future, that's all well and good. But there is something to be said about a dominanat performance, like Vukovich winning by a couple laps over the likes of Tony B., Ruttman, McGrath and Gentleman Johnnie. Some say the Mad Russian was the greatest ever because of his dominant performances. If he was born 50 years later would they still say he was the greatest or would aero packages and push to pass render him just another good driver? Are today's victories as solid or less solid than the ones by Vukovich? Is bunching them up with the aero packages great for the fans or does it penalize the better driver/car every yellow and for not being able to pull away from the pack?
