Our host provided police escorts(front and back)to the raceway. Insane...

Gasoline alley

What an amazing race!! It was my first time so, I was a bit caught up in the grandeur and emotion of it all.

I can't watch it. Dull as dishwater.

Nice pictures Marc. It was great that Tony Kanaan finally won. I always thought that someday I could see this fascinating race alive but unfortunately it seems that it's not going to happen.

Nice photos Marc, must have been amazing.

Just one of those things you have to do in your lifetime.

Thanks for the pictures Marc. Still an exciting race. My favourite era was the sixties. A.J. Foyt, Jimmy Clark, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, and Bobby Unser.

I was very happy for him. I was hoping he would win...finally.

220 mph sure is fast when your only 6 inches from your fellow driver...: )

The noise from the engines,the fans going nuts!!! Is sure was a scene....

TV does this epic race no justice.

We stood outside turn 4 at Rockingham (UK) a few years back when the Indy cars were here, feet away with them cornering at 200 ish MPH stunning.
