What is the most depressing thing about Indy?

a. The pitiful practice and qualifying crowds.
b. The declining television ratings.
c. The lack of competitors.
d. The joke that has become Bump Day.
e. The amount of tickets available.
f. All of the above.

I would have included the pathetic cars on that list as well as those who persist in believing that Indy is still the greatest race on earth.

I vote all of the above.

Too bd it's not like Page 2 where you could actually vote.

I've almost always been excited about this race, even though I am not an IRL fan, and am a Cart fan, I've still enjoyed all the races since 96....But this year I feel very little excitement, I have to keep reminding myself the race is on. The F1 race will have more excitement for me I think, so I'm going to watch that on tape first when I get up, then the tape of the 500.
