I gotta agree-the first time my comp car raced out there was in 2005 and I was able to get for Friday-Sun. It was so great. I was bummed I couldn't go when we raced there last year-my students have this thing about me being around when I give tests. I've never been to Indy and one year I'd love to go. But I'd send that car out to Pomona every year if the bank account allowed it (in this economy, the bank account is having a hard time providing hot dogs for the hot dogs and beans). Southern California is where it was all started. Plus I've got family there and none in Indiana.
