Went to Watch the Indy 500 as the Significant Racing Car in the World

My husband and I went to watch the Indy 500 on Sunday as one of the significant racing in the world. We did arrive in the motor speedway about 9:30 and that is early even though the racing will start at about 1:11. As we are early we did roam around the motor speedway. Almost about 12:00 noon we went to our seats and wait the race and it was a lot of people about 400,000. I am glad we did seat about 3 rows nearby the fence and we can see very well by the time people changing their tire or by the pit stop (is where a racing vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling, new tires, repairs, mechanical adjustments). I have never been seeing live race car before and I was excited by the time the race started. I was amazed that alot of people went there to see the car race. I am fascinated of the car race because they are very fast and imagine the fastest they can drive is 226 mi. (363.711 km ph) and the slowest is about 135 mph (217.261 km ph) they are freaking fast and those people I can say are tough. There was a woman that I cheered for named Danica Patrick but she did not won but I am proud of her. She finished 22nd and she was clipped on pit road by Ryan Briscoe with 29 laps to go. By the time she was clipped she was on top 7 and perhaps she could win or she might be in 2nd then. I was one of her fan and she did a great job.

My husband and I did take some pictures but it’s not clear enough as you can see below, because of the barrier or the fence, even that we did take a video and take some pictures! The race took about 4 hrs. something as they did 200 laps and that is 500 miles (804.672 km). It took about 4 hrs. something I get feel tired as it was hot also and I did close my eyes in few minutes and then back to watch again (ha-ha). It was one of the most fun that I ever been to watching an event. The winner of the Indy 500 2008 is Scott Dixon who is a New Zealander. Congrats to him!

By the time the car race was done my husband and I did walk going to the bus that we ride on but duh it was alot of people fall in line and it seems takes forever to ride the bus and then we saw a restaurant and decided to eat our dinner there and watching the people fall in line and hoping that after we ate we can ride the bus but still the same alot of people in line, so, my husband and I decided to walk from there to our hotel here in Indianapolis and it is quite far when you walk from there. It took for us about 1 hour and 45 minutes walking from there. I told my husband I do not want to walk as I was thinking it is very far but I thought its not yet dark and besides it is an exercise too it can flatten my belly (lol). I was so glad by the time we arrived in the hotel and I felt exhausted that time. Anyhow, it was such a wonderful day that time and great experienced watching the race. I hope one day we will watch the car race again.
