It is more than race cars and sporting events. the human condition is engrained in our nature.

We emulate and embrace ancient Rome and sport of our distant past. Indianopolis Motor Speedway is a perfect example of how we have brought this past to our present.

Just look at Indy on Memorial weekend, this is a coliseum with the spectacle. We repeat our past time and time again. Who is to say if this is wrong or right but the difference is that human kind wants to be entertained.

So many have felt the loss of their loved and so many are still to learn.

We are saddened by certain events and happy with others, until it hits home. This oblivious nature is us as we shut the tragedy out and feel excitment.

Until it hits home

With with the loss of a loved one

It hits home

Many have lost those who are most precious to them

This is home

Lest we comment on anothers loss without knowing a loss

With our loss we must go on after grieving as this is our healing

Moving on and knowing our blessings and caring is to heal

Our home

Good comparison to the Indy 500. Losing a member of the racing community always has people clamoring to figure out what could be done to prevent another fatal accident. As it should be.

We need to help make the tracks/cars safer for the other competitors.
