Who else is making the trip to the Indy 500 tomorrow? Looks like the rain might delay things a bit, but it still feels like we’re going to get the race in.

This will be my 3rd 500 and I swear it never gets old. The whole event is just spectacular — the atmosphere, the speed, the crowd, everything. One of the best live sports experiences you can have.

Who’s going, and where are you sitting?

I’ll be in section 9 this time.

My wildcat brother from an LSU tiger man. Have a great time. I am very envious of you have not been since 1985 since Danny Sullivan did the 360 and beat Mario andretti before then. As a young boy I was there in 1969 with Mario andretti won and then my dad brought us 3 years in a row 1977 AJ Ford number 4 1978 Al Unser. I think his third and then 79 when Rick mears won. It is definitely the greatest spectacle in racing and there is nothing like it now. Love NASCAR but nothing like the indy500. I wish I could be there. I'm getting close to retirement and I promise my wife when I retire. We are going up there. So man you have a great time. I think the weather will be able to get the race in. I hope everything's just fantastic for you. It's the greatest experience anyone could have and like I tell everybody he got to at least experience one time. Even if you don't think you like racing, there's nothing like the indy500. Have a great time my brother. Stay safe. Godspeed and enjoy the race. I'll be at work. Trying to keep up with it

Took the fam last year for their first 500 and they had a blast. I’ve been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Sat in Sec 14 last year, 9 will be awesome seats as long as your high enough.

ETA: Have fun!! The Blackhawks on the pace lap were one of the baddest arse things I ever witnessed. Literally right in our lap.

Thanks! I will have a blast. I am taking 3 individuals who never been. One is a huge f1 fan, told him, the 500 is the pinnacle race to experience.
