The other day, the "Indy 500" held in Indianapolis on May 27, 2018 was Danica Sue Patrick's retirement race. If you don't know about Danica, click hereDanica Patrick's WikiPlease refer to ...
Recently, I couldn't watch races at all including F1, so I had no knowledge about all the current races.The greatest female racer, Danica Patrick, retires. A record made by Danica, a world changed by Danica.. The news came into my eyes.
"Well, Danika is retired?" ... I was a little shocked and looked at the article for a while. Because. Just as I was watching the race quite a bit, Danica made her debut at the Indianapolis 500, and on May 29, 2005, Danica's indie debut, I and my husband got together for this 89th Indy 500. I'm watching the game in Indianapolis.
It's great at F1 in Indianapolis, but the excitement of raising the city at the time of this Indy 500 is beyond words. The whole city has an atmosphere of enjoying the Indy 500, and the parade in the city before the race is full of people. I couldn't find any pictures, so here are some screenshots of the videos I took at the time. Sorry for the unsightly (... where did the photo go ...).
There will be various parades, such as performance parades in various cars, performances of drum and fife corps, etc., which are not really Disney parades.
Following them, the Indy 500 players who got on the open car parade when Sanzan Street got excited!
These pictures are Danika at that time. Ahead of his first indie debut, the moment Danika arrived, people in the city cheered like crazy.
At that time, there was also Kosuke Matsuura. When Matsuura went around in the parade, if he cheered "Please do your best!" In Japanese, it seems that you rarely hear Japanese cheers in Indianapolis (laughs), so I was surprised and laughed and answered. I remember that he gave me.
Like the Indy 500 and Daytona, the excitement of the entire spectator before the race is really irresistible. Everyone is excited! It feels like. And the "national singing" unique to the United States. At the time of this national anthem singing, stealth fighters etc. will fly. At this time, B2 stealth was certainly flying from the base in Arizona.
This was really amazing. I approached without any sound, and I could barely see the sound, "Oh! Stealth is in front of me!" This is completely done where it is bombed (laughs).
It's so thin ... The stealth will fly, a tremendous number of balloons will be blown, and the famous "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!" It was a moving festival of goosebumps for a long time.
however. This "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines" was "Gentleman, Start your Engines" until the addition of a female driver, but this 2005 Indy 500, the year when the first female driver, Danika, joined, how There was no first part, it was just "Start your engines". Haven't decided what to do yet ...
The race started in this way, but it was a yellow flag with the last two laps left (although Indy is often the yellow flag ...).
And it is said that 500 miles have ended with the yellow flag ...! Dan Wheldon won the championship this year. By the way, Danika made a great struggle in 4th place, and Japanese player Matsuura was in 17th place.
When the Indy 500 wins, it drinks milk for some reason (laughs). Milk (laughs) as usual at this time.
Anyways. I'm deeply moved when I think that my life as a Danika player, which started from the 2005 Indy 500, has ended.
