Same, that temperature looks like the nicest 500 weather in ages.

2019 was great until the sun came out during the red flag and it suddenly got brutally hot.

I don’t expect that there will be any running today, it’s gonna drizzle allll day long. Oh well, I’m fine with donating $15 to the track. If anyone is still going today and wants a free ticket, I can get you my digital one.

I met a former coworker at metazoa instead, that was a better choice. They had it up on the TVs anyways, looked liked some good racing.

I'm so tempted to get up at 2am to watch the race, but I think I'll risk the results being spoiled and record it to watch tomorrow evening.

I've been living in Indianapolis for close to a decade and this is my first time watching the Indy 500.
