The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
(Apologies to Edward Pola and George Wyle.)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With opening bombs booming
And IndyCars zooming
As fans stand to cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With Firestones gripping
And racers all slipping
To stay off the wall
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Last row ‘ers for roasting
And spectators raring to go
There’ll be thrilling old stories
And tales of the glories
Of five hundreds long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be tearful milk drinking
And princesses winking
As spectators cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Christmas in May! I love it. I remember it snowing one year on opening day at Indy when it was still a whole month. I have added Indy Race Place to my blog roll at http://www.newtrackrecord.com. Good stuff.

OMG – I was at Ball State getting my Master’s degree out on the commons that day. I remember it was opening day at Indy and Kentucky Derby day, and there we were, singing “Let It Snow” at commencement. Crazy!
Thanks for your kind words and for adding us to your blog roll. We’ll stop by your site soon!
