I bought a $75 general admission ticket (good for all 3 days w/ pass out privileges) when they went on sale, and have been looking forward to this weekend since.:thumb
I frequently catch the races on Speed, and actually watch them instead of NASACR. There is some real slicing and dicing that is done, and for the most part it is darn good racing.
Four Americans in the MotoGP class: Colin Edwards, Ben Spies, John Hopkins and Nicky Hayden.

I intend to hit IMS Friday, then to O'Raceway Park for USAC midgets.
(Gas City has the AMA National “Hot Shoe” series on Friday)
Saturday IMS & the AMA flat trackers at the Indy Mile.

Sunday Red Bull Indy GP. http://www.redbullindianapolisgp.com/

Originally there were no individual Friday or Saturday GA tickets for sale, but IMS changed that last week. If you are in the area, Friday is $10.00, Saturday $20.00. Worth checking out!

You going to IMS any DO?

Red Bull TNT Action Sports will be doing shows at BroadRipple Thrusday night with their first show starting around 9pm, and Saturday at the Fairgrounds for the flat track races.

Jeff Tilton, Tommy Clowers, and more will be riding at each show. If you don't know this is a freestyle motocross show backed by Red Bull. If you want to see some excitment show up to one or both events!!!!

You might have a real surprise if you show up at Kokomo on Sunday night. Last night was the final Sunday night show at Kokomo so they won't be racing there this coming Sunday.
