Headline: My favorite place to be

Message: I have been attending practice days, time trials, and races at the 5oo track since I first saw the Whoosh car in 69 with my dad. Every year I gauge how soon the warm weather will be here by counting down to the Indy 500. My fondest memories of me and my dad are from when we would go to the track. Two years ago I proposed to my wife at the track under a tree in the plaza behind the Pagoda. I thought since the track is my favorite place to be why not. She accepted by the way. Now, my fondest memories are with my wife every year at the track. We spend much of the month in May watching the teams work, talking with the drivers, and just simply enjoying the entire experience that is Indy. Every year is more and more special and perhaps one of these times I might just take a ride in the two seater car.

My other love in life is amature photography. Two years ago while my wife and I were back in the garage area I caught Micheal Andretti's car at the methanol pump before going out. I took this picture using my Nikon with a wide angle lens on one of those fine warm spring days. This is one of my favorite pictures that I have taken at the track. In fact, this one I enlarged and is hanging on the wall in our Indy 500 themed bar room in the basement.
