The place for all INDYCAR fans

I sure hope the Speedway hires some of the brillant marketing folks who came up with all the terrific ideas to hype the Super Bowl for nearly two weeks.  Even NBC credits Indianapolis with being the best Super Bowl they have attended.  (Maybe a zip line crossing the Speedway?--or Sequille O'Neil in a pink bikini bottom on the yard of bricks, etc. etc. etc.  I enjoyed watching all the antics on TV.  Maybe we could add some new traditions and zip to our traditional venues for the Indy 500.  Again, my compliments to the city of Indianapolis for putting on a great show.

That hot wheels tower...should have left that up. There's your zip line.

How 'bout a zip line from the top of the pagoda into a newly revived snakepit - smack into a giant blow up pool filled with beer?

@ DOE . A zip line over the Hood east of the speedway , I will be packing on that ride..

@ Davis - ten bucks says the homies cap you before you get to the end of the zip line.

 I will take a zipline too the past only if I can retain all knowledge. Invest in Microsoft , Drive big heavy cars when the glove box and dash was metal,  4 barrels .$82 gallon gasoline. Back then no drinking driving was might spill your beer on the way home from work. Also no up tight Non smokers in the bars, WTF?? 

I'd like a zipline to the past to when our lexicon still included the phrases:

"Gimme a dollar's worth."

"Filler up and check the oil and water."

"It's a neeeeewww traaaaack record!"

 

@ Mike4 - that all sounds good, especially the new track record. But as long as IICS keeps pandering to fans with the WWE mindset, the kind who think highbanker shiznit is real racing, we probably won't see any track record.  

Nope, "keep the cars perfectly dead even to make it fair and slow to make it safe" seems to be the mantra of IICS management - that is what attracts the fake race fans; those who wouldn't know real racing if it hit 'em over the head.  

Hence the reason we would need a zipline to the PAST to experience it.

@ Mike - the zipline to the past is the zipline to reality. Some will reject the zipline to reality, as they prefer to live in Indy Car fantasyland.

@ RR - being that Indy is a "flat" oval that runs more like a road course with a single racing line  through the turns, it's not even wheel to wheel when they run the 500. I know there have been a few exceptions where cars have stayed side by side through the corners, but that is very rare. 

The "exciting wheel to wheel" holds true for for highbankers only - and only for those who haven't figured out that it is a bunch of contrived B.S.

What ever happened to Linda Vaughn?

@RR - now THAT is asking too much - although I like the idea.
