"Ladies and gentlemen, start your Hot Wheels."
That essentially will be the message at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, about an hour prior to the start of the 100th-anniversary Indianapolis 500, when a custom- built vehicle is released on a life-size Hot Wheels track from a nine-story platform. The goal is to make a world-record jump.
Mattel, the maker of Hot Wheels, is calling this stunt "Fearless at the 500."
I have been going to the Indianapolis Speedway since I was born.. and I have never seen anything like this before. I love Hot Wheels! Too much fun. All sorts of festivity for the 100th running of the Indy 500!
Anyone else going this year?

Nice daily itinerary:
1) Obsess over Diva Betsy Ross
2) Obsess over "Boofer"
3) Stop at Modell's - check and see if latest lycra-spandex-nylon-rayon-silk jumpsuit has come in yet from China.

Well, I guess after all is said and done, that I can not really blame war. I have a feeling he is not the type of person to meet people like me in real life.
:)
You, on the other hand, are.
SO.. are you an Indy 500 fan, lib? :) This is my favorite sport- since I was a little girl.

My adventuresome spirit rides the Spanish wind like a Spanish Fly during mating season in Spain - but only mainly on the plain.

"Boofer" is war's pet name for a poster he believes is the Pale Horse of the Seventh Apocalypse. "Badeye" is his native American name.

Your favorite sport?? Since you were a wee lass? How did that happen??
To tell you the truth diva, I can't tell the difference between the first lap and the five-hundredth. What made you get into the Indy 500 and not Stock Car racing or NASCAR?
I prefer the more delicate fare of demolition derby and the sophistication of monster truck pulls. For some reason they make the beer and/or sterno taste better.
*hiccup*

heh..I went to the track when I was a little girl with my Dad. He grew up in Indianapolis. I just got hooked.
I go to dirt tracks, and what not.. (on occasion) ;) and the people are *very nice* and all ;)
AJ Foyt has a race at the Indy Fairgrounds the night before the 500.. it is a midget race, so I will go to that.
NASCAR is not my thing.. nothing wrong with it, but I like open wheel racing.
