That may have been the cleanest overall race I ever watched, and I am pleased to have seen it.

Sad to see Jim doing so poorly. I had hoped he’d be around for the 100th anniversary- but, well, the fat lady hasn’t sung yet, yes?

I had hoped they’d run the Cobe Cup– even just one lap, just for old times sake, especially seeing it’s where I grew up.

I would like to go sit at the track one more time, maybe I’ll have a chance. Maybe I should make plans for the 100th running. If it was like todays race, it would be well worthwhile.

Is there anyone as gracious and professional as Helio Castroneves? I love that little bugger.

Feel bad for Kanaan. He had a good car and a good team.

Good field of rookies, too. Nice to see that, actually. And Partner and his girlfriend and the ogwife and oglet shared a hunk of prime rib as big as my head. Which could have been a bit better, but it was pretty good.
