All day I was waiting with great suspense to get home and
watch the Indy 500 on ABC tv. What I saw was 3 hours of
drool with very little of the race. I mean fifteen to twenty
minutes of commentary on tires and safety and interviews with
drivers etc. and then maybe five minutes of the race. I was
sooo pissssed I almost broke my tv. This is a great race and
all I wanted was to get to see some of it.
Fat chance.

I don't know about other tv viewers, but the reason I watched
the race believe it or not was to see the race. I know some
people find it tedious to watch the cars go around and around
but they can change the channel. I must admit, though, some of
the human interest/safety stuff was interesting. Perhaps next
year ABC will play only about 2 minutes of it...
By the way, can anyone tell me why the pit lane is so
BUMPY ? It seems to get worse every year.
