Alex Lloyd - Round 2

That's right everyone, the 94th running of the Indianapolis 5o0 is happening this year! In just a few short weeks I, along with thousands of hillbilly race fans, will endure the love and fascination of cars going from 0-100mph in less than 4 seconds. Drivers will reach 240+mph, and at 238mph drivers will cover the size of a football field per second - if the driver blinks he/she will miss 50 feet of track. Zoom Zoom!! I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

We've started the yearly email forwards to our group of 20+, and the jokes just keep coming. You may remember from last year, it was my first time attending the race in about 14 years. The good news?!...it was just how I remembered it...LOUD. This race is something everyone should experience at least once, that is why this year I will be bringing a newbie along with me. Oh he best get ready, I can't wait to see his reaction on the first lap. Love it or hate it...he will be sticking around for the entire race.

For the 2nd year in a row I will be cheering on the Australian boy...Mr. Alex Lloyd. Thank goodness this year he isn't sponsored by an Energy Drink (had too many of those last year). This time around it's Boy Scouts of America. My T-Shirts (yes plural...one for Saturday's shin-dig and one for Race Day) have been made and shipped.

The word "Excited" doesn't even come close to cutting it.

Just a few more weeks....
