My 2010 Indy 500 Weekend starts tomorrow. The Wednesday before the biggest one day sporting event in the world is "Community Day" at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Traditionally I bring some BBQ for my group and they bring the sides. NONOMNOM.... For $10 which goes to the Town of Speedway's Chamber of Commerce, you can take a lap around the Brickyards famed 2.5 mile oval in your own car. It is a laid back day with about 40,000 or so people attending. Friday is Carb day which is a big party day and the final proactive for the 33 car starting field. ZZTop will perform in the infield! Saturday is "Parade Day". The Indy 500 Festival Parade is the second biggest parade in the USA behind the Rose Bowl Parade. Sunday is the Race. Approximately 500,000 fans will attend the race with billions watching worldwide. Three special fans will be my online friend from Arkansas, Mike along with his brother and wife. Rich and his dad will be watching the race with Mike and his family in the infield in Turn 3 which is where the party is! This is my absolute favorite time of the year and hope that if you are not at the race you can follow our tweets. http://twitter.com/PatsTheIceman
