The Motegi 300

Yesterday we went to the Motegi 300 Indy car race. This was my 4th IRL race and I have concluded that the IRL has to be some of the least exciting racing I have ever been too in my life. Of course we cheered for the Ohio driver Sarah Fisher who finished a dismal 14th, though she did fare better than the only Japanese driver Kosuke, who banzaied it into the wall on the first turn of the first lap. While the race was a bit of a yawner, the weather was great, and the Motegi Circuit is always a great place to visit located in the mountains right outside of town. Probably the highlight of the day was a pre-race show put on by the Japanese version of the Blue Angels.
