Sad day at the speedway

Didn't expect my first Indycar race to go like it did today. Race was barely minutes long when almost half of the field got taken out:

Very different being there than seeing it on TV. Very surreal. Drivers were just getting into their groove and I was going to start timing some laps for myself with my phone, when the accident occurred. Everybody in the grandstands stood up after the first hit, expecting the normal crash, but one car after another kept getting hit. It was a pure holy shit moment. Of all the years I remember watching the old Indy series with Dad growing up, I don't ever recall a crash as bad as this one.

After being taken by MercyAir downtown, Dan Wheldon was announced dead 2 hours into the red flag. Here are my meager clips for austerity:

There's not much else to say.

And to celebrate the upcoming Las Vegas Indycar final on Sunday here are a few laps of mine in iRacing with the Dallara Indycar :

Indycar Parade on the strip

On one of those rare occasions I venture down to the strip: Took the fam down to see the Indycar Parade tonight. Ended up being slightly too far south and neglected to get a great video, but it was really cool nevertheless. All the drivers made a helluva show for their first return to Vegas in 7 years. Bet they had fun too. I was impressed how deep the 3.5L V8's bass note was. I was prepared for the high pitch revving sound but, man, they all made for an amazing rumble. Its made me really excited for the Championship on Sunday. It should be a good time. Hopefully, they'll make a lot of money and come back next year. Anywho here's a vid:

Holy shit, son!

No posts for over a month! Talk about a high stress time. Couldn't cut a break for a long ass time, but seeing as everything is good now, I'll start posting more. In the mean time here is a an old pic I drew on the DS Colors program!
