Friday night is a pre-race party at our friend's Will and Kristen's house in Broad Ripple. Saturday night is the Annual Frey Hogroast. We all gather again in Broad Ripple in anticipation of the big Sunday ahead. What is so great about the Hogroast is that it has become one of the most anticipated parties of the summer. Many of our friends come in from out of town, so there is usually a lot of catching up and reminiscing of old times. However, the night typically winds down somewhat early because those of us with race day experience know, you have to be on your A-game to survive the next day.

Sunday is the Indy 500 and basically just a mess from start to finish. Approximately 50 of us met at our friend's house in Broad Ripple, ate a quick, but nutritious breakfast that consisted of mimosas and bloody mary's, loaded up on a huge charter bus, and headed to the track. We always set up shop in Turn 3 of the infield and then don't look back until we are told we have to leave. To be quite honest, most of us would have no idea that there was a major sporting event going on right behind us, except for the constant loud buzz of the cars as they flew around turn 3. We are all pretty much focused on everything else going on around us...except for the race. As always, we had a blast! Just didn't take many pictures because I was afraid I would end of losing my camera, even though I did have that handy fanny pack.....
