Just in case you haven’t been looking at Domestic Fuel I’ll give you this post from the start of the Indy 500 today. I’ll have more later today or tomorrow depending on what happens during the race (or the finish!).

The race has started. After the first lap we had a two-car accident but no injuries and car #17 is looking good right now. After this post I won’t do any until after the race.

The one thing you like to hear here is the famous words, “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.” You can hear it here: Start Your Engines (1 min MP3) Post Update: It was pointed out to me that Ms. Hulman said “Lady” and not “Ladies.” I would assume the singular but it sounded plural over the PA system in the stands to me and those around me. Maybe we need our hearing checked.

I’m also listening in on a radio scanner to the driver/pit communication which is very cool. It sounds like things are going well right now.
