indy 500

ok, so i did spend a little time watching the indy 500....a race that i have never had reason to want to watch until a 100-pound woman found backing to drive her racecar in that event.....and big 200 pound fellows claimed she had an unfair advantage because of her small size.......this is laughable.....like there have never been smallish men driving at indy.......they interviewed mario andretti afterwards.....and he seemed on the short side.......hmmmmm...he probably weighed a lot less when he was racing........but back to my main point.....it is laughable that male drivers would consider the fact that someone else weighs less as unfair.........given that this race has no minimum and certainly no maximum weight standards.......not like jockeys in horseracing.......she ended up finishing 4th....which is pretty good for a rookie driver- male or female.........regardless of her finish...i am sure the sponsors were pleased to have this boost in attention to an otherwise boring event.......not the kind of place i would willingly go.....the noise and the monotony of the round-and-round nature of the sport would make me crazy......with or without beer.........i will have to find some activity to fill my days now that graduation is over.......and some good book to read...given that i have yet to obtain a copy of the brilliant speech i did not hear recently..........
