  I have talked to the Indianapolis motor speedway and the tickets were supposed to be mailed out in the middle of July, However there was some sort of problem with the printing and they will not be sent out until the middle of August, 2008. The guy told me "no worries" we would received the tickets, just a little later that we had hoped...

I emailed the rep last week and got basically the same explanation. He said the tickets are supposed to ship out this week.

Thing that sucks is he said it's looking like they aren't going to even offer pit passes to the general public  :rant2:

I am heading out tomorrow.  RV parking in Lot 1c.  Will hope for better weather than forecast.  Taking the Guzzi, leaving the Bandit home this time.

The Gp was the best bike event that I have been to.  We camped in Lot 2 from Thursday thru Sunday.  Saturday was great weather and an awsome oppertunity to see them in the dry.  I will 100% be back next year to see them again.

I'll be back too.  It was awesome:

The crowd really knew their stuff. Nicky was toast of the town, could've been mayor. Cheered at the Speedway and Dirt Track. Danni was roundly booed. All the other riders were cheered. I was there are all 4 days.

I had a great time. Something seeing the guys ride in such conditions. Rossi beating Agostini's record. The Dirt Track show was great despite the announcer and parking.

We were able to walk the pits on Thursday. Saw all the riders up close when posing at the Start-Finish line. Nicky, Colon, and Rossi were clearly popular with the other riders, Danni stood by himself and seemed withdrawn. Even Ben Spies and Rossi were chatting....

Rossi was asked on stage: when Mike Schumacher visited America he road a Harley around the US. Would you like to do that?  Rossie said: I've never rid-din da' Harley Davidson before (crowd goes nuts).  I lika da sporta bike, something with da horsa power (crowd cheers wildly).

I walked all over the infield. Took most of my photos in T6. Went to cover on the front stretch when the rain fell. Ben was top 3-5 in all sessions (wet & dry). Those 250s are incredibly fast, and sounded more like motorcycles that the GP bikes. Those GP bikes really growled, none have smooth firing order that I could tell plus the traction control made them sputter even more.

Camp site was pretty cool Sat night, bonfire, Fire Dept, etc.

So, did the 125, 250 & Red Bull kids run?  I've been waiting to see Indy coverage on Speed of them, but so far, every time they've had the 250 race on the schedule, they've shown the 250 class reruns of Mugello, so I was wondering if they got rained out?
