Indianapolis - Day 4

Saturday we slept in and made it to the track in time to watch qualifying. Spies qualified in second so we felt like it would be a really good race. 


The Yamaha riders (Lorenzo, Spies, Edwards and Crutchlow) did another longer Q&A session with the fans.  I got a front and center seat (I was actually standing) but was right in there with all the action.  I got a shirt from Colin Edwards and Jorge Lorenzo and gave them both a high five. Ricky wasn't there because he went to the pit walk about to see the riders bikes.  He came a little late and saw the last half of the interviews. He also got to give Jorge a high five, pat him on his back and tell him good luck. It was fun to see the riders in a more playful, less serious and competitive mood. They were all quite funny and gave great interviews. Two of the four are americans so it was fun to cheer them on in their home country.
