I am heading for the Indy 500 this weekend. As a sponsor of the Rahal Letterman race team, we get a good inside perspective of the race. My customers really appreciate being immersed in racing technology. I am wondering if any of my fellow E60 owners are attending?

Good on you Rudy..I'm with you.
It's a shame really--no more of the 'best" of anything, as it was before. Just about 10 real drivers, with the rest field fillers who couldn't get a seat anywhere else.
Nice going Tony.

I'm with Rudy....since the CART split, it hasn't been the same.
I went years ago several times (and to the time trials which are great also).
The last year I went was the year Arie Luyendyk won which was cool because I was in marketing for Domino's Pizza and we were the main sponsor--- lots of people wanted to buy my Domino's Pizza Racing/Team Shierson hat!

Here's hoping that Bernie doesn't re-up with Tony for the F-1 race too.
It's just a sheme...what a facility, so much history down the drain. What's really sad is that the people from the Speedway think they're doing F1 a favor by letting them come there. Most think that Tony Stuart could outshoot Micky Schu at any time. F1 is viewed as a "lesser" program. Jeez..
Like Paul Newman said on the cover of yesterday's USA Today about Indy--
" I have issues with the management".

Paul used that line with Dave Letterman on the Late Show last year. You could tell Dave wanted to agree but couldn't do it since RLR made the switch from CART to IRL.

I'll be sipping Moet, sitting on my yacht in lovely Monaco this weekend watching fine Michael, Ralph, and company on a fine sunny day.
Yeah right.
