As of now, my plan is to leave the Philadelphia area at 2:30--3:00 pm on Friday, buy a ticket for a grandstand seat sometime Saturday, or I might just get a general admission ticket and use one of the viewing mounds in the infield. I am quite intrigued about this race. On one hand, the month of May is reserved for the greatest race in the world, on the other hand something has to be done to grow the sport of Indy Car Racing again. I have always felt for every street race on the schedule there should be a race on dirt for the other racers. There should be an overall champion based on all races, a true road course champion, you may want to put the street races in this group or keep them on their own and a dirt champion. I know it will never happen, but a lot of people never thought the old CART teams would come back either. As long as there is an Indy 500 there is hope. I truly believe the sport can be saved by bringing back the grass-roots dirt racer along with a mix of the open wheel road racer and the speed of the Speedway. I am coming out, I hope the race is a success. In any case I and two of my friends will be back out for the Silver Crown at the fairgrounds, Carb Day, Bloomington, Lincoln Park, the 500 and perhaps Kokomo before we head back home
