Headline: Greatest Spectacle in "Raining"

Message: 2005 was my first year going to the Indianapolis 500 Qualifications. It was Pole Day weekend and I was really nervous because I didn't know who any of the drivers were. I was 9 years old at the time. When it started raining, I was a little down because we were going to leave earlier than I had wanted to. My family and I had decided to stick around Gasoline Alley a little while longer to see if any drivers would come around. We were just about to leave when Helio Castroneves was nice enough to come out in the rain and sign some autographs! I was very embarrassed because my face was all smudged from having my face painted checkered, and the pen that i gave Helio wouldn't write! "This pen doesn't write" Helio said. Someone offered another pen and Helio waited in the rain to sign my hat. I was very very happy that he was paitent enough to wait in the rain. That is one of my most memorable experiences at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
