I had a similar experience back in 2005, I had free tickets and went with a buddy.  It was boring as can be, but we managed to have a good time, just as you did.  I will never go back for a NASCAR race.  I have had the honor of sitting in our companies suite, and watch the Indy 500 time trials, and that was a blast.

glad you and your son was able to manage to enjoy your time together.
:yes:

  How many brownie points did you have to give up for those tickets.  You're going to have to warm that nose to pay for them.  How many employees get free tickets for the 500 Race.   :rolleyes:  I'll bet only the top crust gets those tickets.  Wage slave.    :biggrin:

Honestly, up until last year, we ALL had an invite to the race, for free.  But Obama has our economy so screwed up, we had to cut back, hopefully temporarly.

With that being said, I never went to the race, because I would much rather be home with my kids.  I am not a fan of large crowds....and I also find that race to become boring.  I usually listen to it on the radio, as I grille.

So the POTUS is responsible for your inability to attend the race>

Interesting interpretation.

  I got to say one thing, Obama is the most unlucky president America has ever had.  First he is handed the worse depression America has since the Hoover depression.   A stock marked and bank disaster, a realstate disaster, a Republican Congress who has fought everything he has wanted to do, with their only job is to make Obama a one term president.  The worst drought since the 30's.

   With all of the outsourcing and offshoring of jobs and companies and manufacturing,   He really has no where to make jobs.  I got to say he has done a fine job with what the Republicans have dealt him.

  Thank to the Republican Party, Numbnuts George W and the Wacko Teabaggers. :wacko:  He does deserve an other term.  Surly America doesn't deserve the Golden Mitten and his dancing horsey.  Oh, I might add, let us pray.  :pray:  :preach:  :pope:  And Henry wanting to blame Obama for him not going to the Indianapolis 500  :haha:  :haha:  :haha:  Henry, give Obama a break.  :haha: :haha:

  I and the other millions of Americans have a right to whine and cry :cry:  You and your damn Republican, George W and  Tea Parties almost sank this wonderful country.  :titanic:  A saying for the Republican Party, "For depression for all, so help me God."  :sneaky:  :tiphat:

Don't blame Obama for your employer's poor business acumen; my employer continues to beat forecasts and continues to hire and we are 100% dependent on consumer confidence.  The S&P averaged a 58% on investment for the past 10 years; our return on investment was 597%.  Our company is run by liberals.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

The only thing tragic about it is that we let these people's parents breed.

Tragic attempt at ironic humor -- but your point is very well taken.

  If we knew the truth, Henry's job is hanging by a hair.  All his boss needs is someone who will work on the cheap and maybe under the table.  :sneaky:  Henry is to cheap and too on the square to do something dishonest.  He couldn't do something like Mitt does everyday.   :biggrin:

Roche had a couple of suites at IMS, and as suite owners they got discounted tickets to the time trails and pre-race events which they shared with all employees.

Then they had raffles for suite tickets when customers did not consume them.

Same thing with the Colts and Pacers.

  Ford Motor Co. wasn't that good.  They had a lottery for the ticket they got for the Indianapolis 500.  You had to buy them.  But they had a bus that came to the parking lot to pick you up.  And naturally you had to pay for that to.   :wink: :smile:

  I can remember when Jimmy Clark first came over here to run his Ford engine.  The Ford tool room work 24 hours a day making and rebuilding parts for his car.  Also I got to see him run that year.   What got me was he didn't have to slow down for the curves.

  The Novi's would pass everything down the straightaways, but had to slow down for the curves.  Oh, those were the days of good racing.  I really don't care that much for the cars and could care less for the personality of the drivers.  Especially the foreign drivers.  Where are all of the American drivers.  :angry:

  I got to say one thing, Tony Hulman sure screwed up the 500.  The racing has been the same since he had change it.   :rant:
