Less than 2 weeks until the Indycar race in New Orleans.

With New Orleans hosting a big league racing event I couldn't resist the chance to finally see these cars run in person. I'm going down for the day Saturday, hoping that even though I won't see the "main" event, it will be the day packed with the most racing, with 6 different series running and qualifying for the indycar race.

I have to drill that weekend and I'm effing pissed I'm missing that race. I may try to go Friday. I did get a taste of it at Houston last year and it was pretty cool though you can't see as much track as Nascar.

Indy races are a blast. You had a chance to go to the race at Barber? One of the most beautiful tracks in the US. The bright green grass, pine tress, and blooming azaleas everywhere...

It's not actually in New Orleans. The NOLA Motorsports Park is in Avondale....right by the TPC of Louisiana which hosts the Zurich Classic.

Just found out a buddy scored tickets along with paddock passes for all 3 days, and one of the sets is for me. I'm pretty stoked to see these cars racing in real life.

Been to Texas and watched Indycar twice. Would love to see a Grand Prix race. TV does not do justice to the speed these cars are going. You will love it

I will be there Sunday for my first experience. I'm a Formula 1 fan but will give this a try

I've looked up the technology and I know Montoya, that's about it.
