I absolutely love all the pomp and ceremony, and the last two 500's have been the best of the fifty I have seen. The size of the crowd is back to nearly what it was before the split, and I predict the 100th running will be totally sold out. Looking forward to my 51st consecutive event this coming Sunday, and then I will change modes and stop at TSS on the way home and get a little dirt in my hair. Two totally different events, but I enjoy both.
got to agree with you. I just enjoy it. Crowds are definitely way up and have been increasing every year. unfortunately that's maybe put some upward pressure on the prices. Angell park the night before and Kokomo after for me.
