-
One race a-running,
-
1.8 miles of very dirty sidewalk,
-
Two days of Budweiser drinking,
-
Three days of awful traffic, and people whizzing by in annoying little carts,
-
Four speeding fines, for trying to imitate the drivers after the race,
-
Five pounds of weight gained from *delicious* concession stand food,
-
Six piles of roadkill (Who didn’t tell the possums about the race?)
-
Seven hours of buzzing, louder than an army of mutant mosquitoes,
-
Eight dollars (or more) for parking, miles away from your destination,
-
Nine arrests for indecent exposure that also caused nine incidents of blindness,
-
Ten dollar special at the Dalí (because Indy Car enthusiasts love them some fine arts),
-
Eleven tons of litter, scattered about the city, and
-
Twelve hundred rednecks.
-
14 turns,
-
25 cars.
The Indy cars were here, and you missed it. Oh, the sorrow.
Never fear, there’s always next year.
