I've lived in Indy my entire life (56 years). I've only been to the race once...never again, just not my scene. Especially in this heat...no way!
I wish I could watch it live, but the race is blacked out for all of central Indiana...as always.
Quoted from Darcy:That is to bad. Does the Black out apply even if the race is sold out?
There has only been ONE sell-out in the history of the 500
It was the 100th running a couple years back...and yes, we actually were able watch it live on local TV.
Quoted from davijc02:The same types come out for this race as well. My one and only time going midway through the race a dude completely hammered was watching the race standing up just hanging out on the stairs. Dudes pants fell down and he’s just standing there for what felt like 5 minutes naked from the waist down in the aisle way. Eventually security escorted him out.
We parked in some dudes yard for $20 which was relatively close to the track. Post race I brought a mini gas grill to have a mini cookout while waiting for traffic to die down. The owner of said house tried selling shots to folks stuck in traffic and those walking by. He also tried starting a wet t shirt contest. His last brilliant idea was to spray down drivers of cars whom had their windows down in standstill traffic. This lasted until a dude who was sprayed got out and socked him in the face.
Yep, that sounds like a typical Indy 500.....LOL

This year's Indy 500 new date is now Sun Aug 23, 2020, and NBC will air the race.
Yeah...but it will still be blacked out here in Indy....as always.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:We will just have to watch Indy 500 race on tv this yr. Decision was made to not let fans attend the race this yr due to covid19.
For just the 2nd time in history, I'll be able to watch the race live on TV. They decided to lift the local black-out.
