Indianapolis, IN

Tue 12 June 2007

Welcome to the Indianapolis I-465 Speedway, a 53-mile loop around the Racing Capital of the World. You don’t have to wait for the Indy 500, the Brickyard 400 or the Formula One race to scratch your racing bug. Now you, too, can race anytime of day, where the starting line is wherever you get on and finish line is wherever you get off. You don’t even need to go out and buy an expensive sports car, like a Corvette or a Porsche, or even a Yamaha R-1 motorcycle. Some of our fastest drivers are in minivans and SUVs and the family sedan. Racing on the I-465 Speedway is better than racing on a track or other road course, where you only have to deal with the other racers. Here on the I-465 Speedway, not only do you compete with other drivers, but other traffic and the police, making it more challenging. (For practice, check out Need for Speed: Minivan Extreme on X-Box 360 and PS3.) There are no rules like in traditional racing. Here, you can enjoy the freedom of changing CDs while driving, browse the radio stations, eat a Big Mac, talk on your cell phone, surf the net, yell at your kids, read the newspaper, or put on makeup. You don’t even need to use turn signals or abide by the speed limits. We term it “The Autobahn of Indy.” So, get out there, be as reckless as you want, and maybe, just maybe you, too, can be the next Danica Patrick or Jeff Gordon. (IN CASE YOU DON’T GET SARCASM, I wrote this to warn people to slow down and drive with some sense. Leave the racing to the professionals. Use turn signals and chill out with the aggressive driving!)
