At the 500 today

DateSunday, May 27, 2012 at 12:01AM

Tower Terrace seats, close to the Finish Line, and behind Pit Row (which means we are inside the track).  Twenty-seven rows up, which is ideal for getting some perspective.

Wife got em in a raffle, so they go to me and my eldest son - the only two in the family able to withstand the near-100-degree heat over a VERY long day.

Should be fun, though.

Never been.

ADDENDUM:  Hottest 500 ever - temp-wise, but we did well by hydrating throughout and covering up from the sun.  Second record set:  most lead changes ever.  This was ascribed to the new car design that makes sling-shotting much easier to do.
