Indy 500

This year Janet and I will be attending the Indy 500. Janet has been invited to assist our friend "The Quilt Lady" Jeanetta Holder in her presentation of the winner's quilt. Jeanetta has been presenting the winner a handmade quilt for over 40 years. She told me the actual number the other day, but for the life of me I can't remember the actual number of years. She presented a quilt to the Chicagoland Speedway for their 10th race season in 2010. The photo was taken in the Media Center with then Track President Craig Rust. Several of her quilts are in museums. The 500 winner presentation occurs the day after the 500. We have tickets for the race, but now I have to find a way to obtain credentials so I can hook up with Rick Lane and rest of the Third Turn Society! It will be fun to see the Indy cars run again. It has been three years, Milwaukee 2011, since we have been to an IndyCar race. The only time I have been to the Indianapolis 500 was in 1994, when Al Unser Jr. won utilizing the Mercedes-Benz engine that was soon after banned from competition. It seems Roger Penske's group found a loophole in the rules and just blew everybody away that year. The engine had a totally different sound than any other engine out there. It was like a whisper! Like many IndyCar fans in the Chicago area, I would dearly like to see them return to Chicagoland Speedway. We, arguably, had some of the best races on the circuit. Below are a few images from the races at Chicagoland.
