My first time at the Indy 500. I’ve followed the race since the early 70’s and have always wanted to go. This year I just made it happen and it was great. Now I want to go every year.    

Here are a few pics taken mostly from my seat. This was the green flag of the start of the race. Movie Star Jack Nicholson got the honors of starting the race. He is the one in the blue shirt and everyone is pointing the camera at him.

Pace Car was 2011 Chevrolet Camaro.
After the National Anthem was the fly over.
NASCAR Richard Petty “The King” was on the track right before the race. The guy in the hat, sun glasses and white shirt.
Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.) singing Back Home Again in Indiana. This has been a tradition at Indianapolis 500 for the last 64 years.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is Mari Hulman-George who says this now made famous by her father. I think her father owned the speedway.  

Also in this photo is Jim Nabors and Florence Henderson (Brady Bunch Mom) who sang “God Bless America”

The winner!!! Target Car #10 Dario Franchitti.
 
*2nd time winner
*From Scotland and lives in Nashville, TN
*Married to actress Ashley Judd
*Won 2.75 million for first place
This is Danica Patrick and her Go Daddy.com car. My seat was across from her pit area. She was Booed many times by the crowd. I heard it was because earlier in the week she was yelling at her pit crew team and she had her mic on when doing so. Everyone heard it. Probably one of the best woman drivers. Every year there seems to have more woman in the Indy 500.  

These drivers are crazy and fearless if you ask me. Seeing them go over 200 mph is amazing.

This was a fun day.  From what I understand, about every month Warren Buffett has a group of college business school students  come here to Omaha for a day.  These students are from all over the world. They tour Berkshire Hathaway, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Borsheim’s, have a Q & A group discussion with Mr. Buffett and go out for lunch with him. My assignment was to photograph the lunch.  I’ve never met Mr. Buffett before but have heard all the Omaha stories about him.  I found him amazing!  He was friendly, funny, clown like, grandpa like, witty and very open to anyone.  The students and Mr. Buffett had a great time.  

We had the lunch at Piccolo Pete’s family restaurant.  An old family owned, south side, midwest steak house.  Not at all where you would think the world’s richest man would hang out at.  But I must say Piccolo Pete’s has great food and friendly people to help you.  After the lunch Mr. Buffett gets up and walks out into the parking lot to take photos with the students.  He was I bet there taking photos for 1 or 2 hours with over 100 people in 50 degree spring weather.  Not leaving until EVERYONE had gotten many photos with him.  He was striking every pose you can imagine.  A real ham in front of the camera.  I think Mr. Buffett enjoys being with all the young college students as much as they did with him.  Here are some of the photos.  They are hilarious!

Mr. Buffett bought everyone a root beer float. One of his favorites!

Mmmm…
