if youve read my post on sunday 28 may then ive had a great time today and right now (1 hour before indy starts) its my break time and thought i would come in and see whats goin on here...sadly there was 1 floor in my plan ..i started celebrating this day a little early on saturday night and got rather drunk ..i looked up to see when the nazareth cart race was on and it said 3am to 5am..Ok i thought looked at the clock and it said 2am only 1 hour i will wait throw a tape in and record it while i go to bed and watch it tomorrow (today)..well i remember sitting down looking at the clock and it said 2.50am and the next thing i knew i looked at it again and it said 5.10am..so it seems i missed the race completely and im rather annoyed at myself ..but at least a free to air station is showing it on monday night ..but I know who won now (well done to liz on her prayers to get gil across the line)...now i feel really silly and have already programmed my VCR for the 500 just in case i fall asleep again

Well you better reprogram because they are in rain delay, and you are likely to get two hours of blithering by commentators instead of racing!

Talking of commentator blithering... Our Sky Sports twit has already called it the India 500 and the Italy 500.
Duh...
Maybe he's just excited, bless 'im.

Bah, rain!
This is why I prefer the road racing. They go regardless of the conditions.

Another rain delay - I bet they will not get this thing going today. They said if it doesn't go by 3:45 they will put it off.
Good thing I don't really care about this race anyway or I'd be fuming.
The Blue Jays are rained out in Detroit too, so it must be all over the midwest.
Page and Johnstone have at least five different pronunciations of My Gil's name, none of which are correct - one of which is "Gilles Ferran" - their preferred pronunciation seems to be "Jill."

Greg Rae must have heard you missed it, Sparky - SINCE HE WENT OUT AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN!
Even Helio doesn't hit the same piece of wall twice in one race!
