“The legendary Milwaukee Mile on the grounds of the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, Wisconsin is one-mile oval that truly drives more like a road course because of the 9-degree banking in the turns, which produces some of the most exciting racing. Drivers can’t go flat out on the course, which creates overtaking opportunities in the turns as well as the straights. The Mile opened in 1903 and little has changed to the configuration.”
So excited for this Labour Day weekend’s double header, race on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. There are also several concerts sprinkled throughout the weekend. I won’t add them as Allan did them proud on his FB page. We are now also following the IndyCar NXT series which is the feeder for IndyCar.
We’ve been here before but it’s been so many years ago it’s like seeing it again for the first time 🙂
Walking to the track (10m walk) we see.. 
Can’t get into on Thursday but tomorrow we’re in.
Tomorrow is here; interesting sounding cocktails

Results: Jacob – 2nd; Caio – 8th. Super surprisingly Allan chose a green car!! I’m tasting my breakfast win!
Saturday 540-8p NTT Race 1: 
They do driver introductions every race. Rather boring, the drivers walk on stage high 5 Fire Hawk and shake the dignitary’s hands. Rinus VeeKay, the dude with the green pants, is the exception, he comes on stage does a twirl, high 5 Fire Hawk and shakes hands with the dignitaries
Suspect they have been doing this forever but we rarely sit at the start/finish line, the flagman when it’s Go time follows the car with this motion (was fun to watch). He does it with all flags.
Saturday 540-8p Race 1: Results: Pato 1: Josef 26 Boo Pato
Why was Josef 26? His and Marcus Ericsson’s days ended early after a hard crash, that’s Josef on the left. It was Marcus’ fault! #IndyCar
Sunday 230-530p Race 2: Josef 1; Pato 7 Hurray Josef
Pato 24 (mechanical issues) Pato on the radio “You got to be fucking kidding me” when told to get out of the car. Josef: 27 (out of 27 cars) Josef on the pole heading for a green flag when at the last moment they aborted the start and stayed yellow. The driver behind, Marcus Erickson, spotter did not call yellow and guess Marcus didn’t see the still yellow light. He accelerated and rammed Josef.

Pato the winner 🙁 Fun fact: Pato in Spanish means duck. Who names their kid after a duck, oh ya, Pato’s parents. He does look happy.

Allan takes great pleasure, as he should cause it doesn’t happen often, in moving the in-house cars, boohoo to me
Overall standings: Pato 6th with 419 points; Josef 8th – 365
These are 2 races would love to have do overs for
Guess which one it is today!
