Agreed Barry, really unfortunate accident to the young man. I didn't even hear about it until the next morning. Apparently he fell during the warm-up and was struck by a following rider.
Hey Chop, tough to tell how accurate their estimate was, not many folks in the stands except at the complex inside turn 1 of the oval. But there was a helluva lot of people in the infield portion of the circuit, my guess is 70-75,000 more accurate. I know how you feel about the morons that own IMS, and what they did to the sport and I'm in complete agreement. But I have to admit that I really enjoyed Sunday, despite weather conditons comparable to the face of the sun. Lots of fun to be had, and the yellow shirts weren't their usual pig-headed selves for once.
Andy, the Moto 2 race was a crash fest at Indy, about six riders ending up on the ground in front of us alone. But the bikes look and sound terrific, and grids are massive, I think about forty riders on the grid at Indy. You don't get Moto 2 on TV? Each GP weekend, we get the top class live, and then Moto 2 and the 125's on tape delay.
