Forgot to comment on this last week. Though I’d been looking at hotel rooms for Indy for weeks, it took the inspiration of seeing your Tweet saying that you’d booked your room to kick me into gear to pull the trigger. Room is booked, earliest I’ve ever done it, and I am ready to go. Bring on May.

Every year my group and myself head up to the track bright and early and park in a relatively discreet parking area ( I will share the directions to get there because I don’t care if everyone else finds out about it because if they’re half as excited to find it as I was then I’m happy). If you’re arriving from the south and taking I-465 then get off on the 10th St exit and make a right at the light. Continue 1/2 – 1 mile and after you have passed Wendy’s, Lowe’s etc you’ll see a small church on your left at the corner of an intersection…. they only charge $10 a car and you will save much time waiting in the traffic and will be able to make the 3/4 – 1 mile walk right to the track! This year I only ordered one ticket for myself (SouthWest Vista, Section 5, Row MM) as most of the group never knows if they’re going to go or not and usually could care less if they’re watching the race from the grandstands or the infield… I’m a diehard so I do care and that seat was an exceptional deal this late in the game. I’m pumped to be sitting that high and that far into T1 as normally I’m only at about Row X and Section 8-11…. The rest of the group appears to be content with the infield and I’m sure to be making many friends in my new location as seats that high are normally filled with season ticket holders that date back a long time. Only 134 days, 16 hours, 1 minute and 15 seconds until we go green, green, green!!

I will be watching the 500 from the Charlotte Motor Speedway infield again (did you hear they have a HUGE TV?). Have to be in the Lake Norman area again that weekend. Someday I will make it to Indy, promise!

My Indianapolis weekend was one of the first things on my mind this morning. Maybe it was because Nashville is pretty warm right now, but I would be thinking about The 500 during a snow fall. I, too, have seats in Section A and I am looking forward to the Saturday evening pizza at Jackamos on the East End. This is also a rewarding weekend spent with my son, Jack and having grown up in the Circle City it is particularly special to share that with him.
