Pretty hard landing.

I set out for Indianapolis on friday with such high expectations. I wouldnt have been so dissappointed even if Kimi Raikkonen had lost. Or even if Schumacher had competitively won it! But what was so disappointing was the fact that 14 drivers boycotted the race and we had to sit like stupid idiots in the stand and see the same 6 cars going round and round.

Who wants to see a race where the Ferraris 'compete' with the Jordans and the Minardis ?!?!?

Anyway, other than this depressing episode, I really enjoyed the visit to the Motor Museum and the stunning display of cars and not to mention the screaming and revving sounds of 19000 r.p.m of that technological marvels and the thunderous sound produced by the traction control at the turns.

By the way, it is so annoying to find that hardly any people eat vegetarian in the US in spite of hearing the contrary about Americans turning not just Vegetarians , but Vegans ! I had to struggle to find some decent morsel of Veggie food all along the trip. Subway became my saviour and had to survive on cakes, apples and what not...

Some pisc of the trip can be found here: Indianapolis Trip Pics.

Current Mood: Depressed.
