It sounded like a swarm of a thousand fold...it was my first time to witness a live open wheel racing event. The photo on the left is my brother, Jun, who went with me as my guest (two free tickets from our dear benefactor: Marlboro :) ).
One of the highlights of this race, of course, was to see Danica...and it was great...for all the few minites it was worth (she was involved in an accident in the early laps and had to retire early). A lot of people were heartbroken to see her depart the race...I could look in any direction and see people exclaiming to each other: "...so what do we do now?!..."....a quiet exodus of people followed (not massive, but noticable).
The lady who was sitting next to me immediately left. I can just remember each time Danica's car passed by, she would light up like a Christmas tree and clap her hands in triumph. I guess deep inside me I was clapping my hands, too. I like Danica. I like how she has been able to handle herself with all the attention. I like that she is able to compete. I like that she is the underdog at the moment and I can't wait to see her finally win a race
