  1. This news does not portend well for the Indianapolis 500. If an event with 60,000 people cannot be safely held in early August, there is no way an event with many times that many attendees can safely be held at the IMS.

    1. Good point. I suspect IMS would wait until the last possible minute to even think about cancelling.
