It was good to have. I was not inside the track when the jump happened. We were all setting outside turn 3 having a good time when all of a sudden we herd the crowd. What the heck is the crowd cheering about? Then it dawned on us. I say it was a great thing that they did the jump. This was the first time I have ever been able to walk straight from the vehicle to my seat without having to stop anywhere. We always get bogged down about 30 yard from the gate. It was great. Keep doing it. By the way maybe the guy that used the "pimped out" phrase does not realize that is a good thing these days. Ask your grand kids about it. Pipmped out is more adding flashy things to something to improve it. IMS added a big flashy WORLD REDCORD JUMP to the pre race stuff. O ya that big flashy jump was over an hour before the race, and came a good 15 to 20 min. before most drivers even had there drivers suit on. I do not see how this jump did anything but help the Indy 500. It was done at a time it affected nothing. The set up did not block anyones view. It was pretty cool to look at. And all of the old timers that sat around me thought it was really cool that they tried to immulate one of there old Hotwheels tracks.

Sure looks like people like me loved it as in every pic you can see tons of fans watching it!

I am glad they have more things to enjoy during the down time at the track!
