Are you ready for the 2025 Indy 500???? I think it's going to be a very interesting show and race on the 40th anniversary of Danny Sullivan's "Spin to Win" Indy victory.

So who are you hoping will win? For me it's Scott Dixon. If not him, then Helio, Pato O'Ward, Will Power, Santino Ferruci, Scott McLaughlin and Conor Daily! Tough choice with such talented group of drivers this year. And don't forget, Alex Palou or Colton Herta if he has a great day which we need for our American F1 racer with Andretti Global.

Going to be a great race to see in person but it's not gonna happen this year for me because of ongoing chemotherapy. Session #6 is the Friday of Indy 500 weekend and it's been pretty rough so far every Friday.  Session #3 was cancelled cancelled because of a urinary tract infection which then extends everything a week.

Enjoy a look at the Indy Cars at last years Indy 500 and a few other races as it's time to focus on Indy Car and IMSA!!

My blog this week is short but sweet thanks to chemotheraphy session #2 kicking me a bit. Not as bad as last week. I'm just sore and lethargic. Just hope it works with 4 more treatments to go.

I dug up the Midwest band Head East that has been around since 1974 and has had more members than my high school class in senior year. In other words a lot!

Formed by John Schlitt when he and several of the guys were attending the University of Illinois. But being a rock band, who knows how many days they were there!

They are known mainly for their hit "Never Been Any Reason" but continued trying and toured a lot. I also saw them in 1976 and should to dig those photos up.

Enjoy a look at the men in 1980.

Thanks,
