THE 108TH RUNNING OF THE INDIANAPOLIS 500

[d.kaufman]

My ex's brother used to come down from Green Bay on Memorial Day weekend and we would always walk from our house (just north of the north 40 entrance on 30th St.) down to 16th and Georgetown the night before the race just to people watch. It was a lot of fun! I'd sit on the bridge across from that entrance on Sunday morning and have my coffee and watch everyone walking in too. When the Brickyard came, I'd do the same, but there was a marked difference in the crowd. For the 500, half the people were sloppy drunk by 8 a.m.. For the Brickyard, it seemed to me a much more family oriented crowd.

I may or may not have been known to crack a beer on my 10 minute drive to the track from my sister's house. That was usually somewhere between the 7-8am timeframe.

Always sat on the backstretch just as going in to turn 3. Loved those seats. I remember shouting at Jeff Gordon when they'd parade around in the bed of a truck and call him a fag. He flipped me off once

I have so many good memories from the races I've attended there

One year, when we lived on Eagledale Dr. and the ex's brother and I took our walk, I was working for TGI Fridays. The uncle of one of the guys I worked with was running a bungee jumping concession in the parking lot of the old Waffle House at 30th and Georgetown and I had my first (and only) bungee jumping experience. Funny how brave a couple of pitchers of margaritas will make you. To quote Jimmy Buffett, "I was God's own drunk and a fearless man!"

Such a load of **** they black the race out for the locals.

The following zip codes may be restricted from streaming due to territorial blackout restrictions.

Buy saying "MAY BE" there is a chance they will lift the restriction like the did the last 3 years. It's a sucky situation but still an outside chance to see the race on Peacock,

Wasn't lifted last year on Peacock

VPN is your friend.

That's how you can get around it also….just use a mobile device that lets you set a VPN

I'm not smart enough to know how to do this. The only VPN I have access to is for work and I'm sure I can't access it with my tv.

I had Nord VPN for a year or two (whatever I signed up for), but I only used it a few times on my computer just to try it out. I hated it. It slowed my response time down noticeably and it would block sites that were stupid to be blocked (like Kroger's website for the weekly ad). I didn't renew it when the contract ran out.

If you can get it on your phone, then just mirror it from phone to tv.

I can't get it on my phone I don't think? And mirror it to my tv??



Hey! You sound like a tech guy. How do I get the clock on my VCR to stop flashing 12:00??

Concerning the weather, all we need now is for that high-pressure system that's over Kalamazoo right now to not get in a big hurry to move east, and to hold the frontal systems about where they are for 20 hours or so.

That might be a lot for which to ask, but back in 1995 Hurricane Erin went just far enough to the northeast of town to get the Brickyard 400 started late and completed.

This will do it. Fixed my "check engine" light on my old F-150 too.

At least down here in Southern Indiana I'll be able to watch it rain live on NBC.
