Indy car schedule

Memo to Indy car reps and officials : race tracks are for racing and roads, streets, and parking lots are for ordinary human beings. That is why I drive from the shadows of Houston to the north-side of Ft. Worth three week-ends a year to watch Nascar and Irl races. I never did bother to go to any of the street festivals with race cars that were held in the parking lot of our new Nfl stadium and Astrodome area which is less than one {1} hour from my house. FYI: Texas Motor Speedway is @ six {6} hours from here, depending on weather and traffic. Still haven't fully recovered from the "lost week-end" of the Firestone 600... So don't lose those of us fans who kept your butts racing on highspeed ovals, while your F1 wanna-be buddies raced to small, tempory stands and eventually went broke..
