But the Red won

We had great seats at Indy, in the NorthWest corner, so we had a prime view of the retirements: the 4 car crash in the first lap out of the first turn, the gear box failures, the tire deflations, and the Jaguar that caught fire. The only thing we didn't see well was R. Schumacher's crash in the oval. The funniest parts were when a driver would forget to break early enough and drive through the grass to the track after the first turn. Kind of like I do on Mario Kart, but they didn't get a mushroom to go through the rough faster.

With 60% of the field retiring, it was a very exciting race, even if the red team won and the blue team crashed and was disqualified. Jeremy wants to go to the Monaco race, but he saw more action here.

At the end of the day, the red won twice- I got to show Jeremy just how much I burn with sunscreen on. My arms and shoulders look like they've been taped off where my shirt was and painted red and my face shows the shape of my sunglasses. Sometimes 30+ just isn't enough.

Yay! Go Team! But you don't need to wear the team color.
