... It would be fun they said...
Had my first Mug n Bun, yeah nice, not quite sure why the slice of bread in the middle but hey ho! And then while sitting quietly enjoying the onion rings, hat tip to @HalfShaftBlues, bloody nice too, and then I had my first proper Spring time mid west weather experience! The rain was like herds of wildebeest sweeping across the plain, to quote Basil Fawlty. And the onion rings were blown away. Any, to the track...
Naturally waking up at 5am is not a thing for me, but thanks to 24 hours of travelling it helped. And why not spend the morning the best way you can in Indianapolis, no not at Charlie Brown's, but at the track. Nothing like a triple unveiling to get things moving at 8:30! To SPM, where we saw Aleshin with his new Doom livery, promting me to recall the Private Fraser quote. If you don't know, youtube...

So the unveiling of the New Mikhail ALeshin car, plus the SPM Marotti Racing Servia #77 happened, plus one very cool pimp my garage effort by SPM, even more open for the fans to see the action in the garage.
On the way back to the Pagoda, saw a little British presence, Jack Harvey won the Freedom 100 last year and has been honoured with a picture on the IMS wall of Fame.
The cars hit the track at 11 for practice, I hit AT&T for a SIM, more later!
Being a furriner, as some say, the best way to follow Indycar is connecting with people on social media, it's been a great day so far actually putting handles to faces and 'real' names, so to Shay, Jason, James, Mike, John, Matt, Eric et al... nice to finally meet you!
So the afternoon rolls around, and the temperature drops, clouds gathers, and it deposits in fine style forcing an early end to on track a close for the day.

Tonight will be my first AirBnB experience, and I'll be back with more from the track and beyond tomorrow!
