Yeah, right. She taped it, anyway. :) I was born and raised in Indiana. Grew up listening to the race on radio because it was blacked out through the state. First time I saw it live on TV was when my aunt and uncle got a huge satellite dish. Pulled in a Japanese broadcast. :) So we muted the TV and listened to it on the radio. My wife wonders how anybody could sit and watch cars go around a track 200 times. She thinks it's boring. Man, this is exciting compared to listening to cars go around and around. I remember lying in the living room of my folk's house, listening to the radio with a picture of the track nearby. Not sure what the picture really helped with. This year's did seem more exciting than the past few. I was actually rooting for Patrick. I can't remember rooting for a specific driver since Rick Mears retired. My car-watching season is now over 'til next year. I really don't follow any of the races except for the Indy 500. -- Eric http://canid.com/
