Sunday May 25, 2008 in Speedway, Indiana. The 92nd running.

Pre-race tribute to all the military past and present.

What an awesome flag and wonderful tribute to all of our men and women who serve or who have served, and those who have given their lives for our country.

Great shots! I really enjoyed viewing them - a few times.

THAT'S a BIG flag. Bet its hard to find a pole for it.
Thanks for showing it.

Thanks all for looking.

My usually 'Memorial Day' events (Monday) were really rained out. The doughnuts were even soggy. So I posted this instead. I was going to just blog about the flag but put it here in its full glory.

Those viewing this who are Motorcycle racing fans, that wicked set of esses and that insane chicane is for the Formula GP1 bikes later this year. I'd love to shoot that from a similar vantage as I shoot Indy.

The MotoGP guys should be flying around that track. That kink on the far right will be a good overtaking spot for sure.
