Indianapolis 500

This is just one of the many reasons I am proud to be a Hoosier. The Indianapolis 500.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the facility. Next year, 2011, marks the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 Race.

Unfortunately, I have to work at my second job today. So I will miss 99%. I do, however, get to the see the very beginning of the festivities: National Anthem sung by Jewel, the flyovers, the National Guard and Jim Nabors singing "Back Home Again, in Indiana." He looks pretty good. He's been singing it, at the race, for over 30 years.

I have been to the Time Trials and got to go the the race one year with my family in the 1990's.

Definately, something to add to your bucket list.
