Just heard on the Nightly News with Lester Holdt (hope spelled right) that NO FANS will be allowed at Indy 500 this year

I’ll stress that this is MY OPINION, but I don’t think this race at Indianapolis should be the 104th running of the Indy 500. The Indianapolis 500 is the “Greatest Spectacle In Racing” and it can’t be that without fans. Make the race 198 laps, call it the first Indy 495. Make next years race the 104th Indy 500.

Total BS. Too much control that a very very few people have. We can not make decisions for ourselfs I guess. The way they were going to do this with 25% seemed more than logical and giving in. I am really disappointed in the speedway.
