My Indy 500 pics

[IndyAndy]

Here is the best of what I got yesterday with my Canon A620, which is better than a cell phone camera but not exactly a professional photographer's camera (I don't have a lot a zoom & the 'drag time' between pushing the button and the actual taking of the picture is terrible!).

Lets go to the race



I can see the podium from my seat



The Purdue marching band



Setting the grid



The 11th Row



And they're away!

Early problems for Sato...



... & Montoya



Scott Dixon was the class of the field for most of the day



A pit stop for James Davidson

Tony Kanaan was also looking good for most of the race



Carlos Munoz



Ryan Briscoe did good work subbing for James Hinchcliffe in the #5 car



Pippa Mann was tail-end Charlie on the field all day, but she was still running at the end



Charlie Kimball put in an impressive performance, leading for a bit & finishing 3rd

Not a good end to the day for Sebastian Saavedra



Will Power was in the mix at the end



The race is over: It's time to go home



Snarled traffic on 16th Street: Best to just relax and wait it out

Same thing at every race venue or nearly so. Get in, watch the race, wait a long time getting out. I always sit in the stands for awhile before leaving or if I have to exit the stadium, I just go sit in my car and take a nap until the traffic snarl gets worked-out. Its pointless for me to sit in traffic as I do it nearly every day going to and from to work.
