indy 500

on my flight into Indy, i sat next to a dude who was drinking a light beer and reading a folder full of documents. i glanced at one. it was info about racers who were competing in the upcoming indy 500. then i remembered, that was going to happen a few days later.
i've never gone to the indy 500. or any car race, for that matter. i went to the kentucky derby once. but they race horses at that one. it was pretty crazy. just a bunch of drunks standing around in the mud, occassionally showing each other their breasts. i was in the infield. apparently, up in the seats, it's a bunch of old rich southerners with big hats and funny suits. i've been told the 500 is similar. but up in the seats, at the 500, are a bunch of racing enthusiasts.
i used to be confused by car racing. but now i think i get it. i'm not a fan. but i get it. there's a lot that goes into it. and it's really fun to drive fast. i drove really fast once. when i was moving out to california, there was a stretch of road in arizona that was SO boring. it was a really flat and straight stretch of highway. and no one was around, so i decided to see how fast i could drive. my high score was 110 miles per hour.
