There is an Indy-style automobile race coming to Edmonton! Yessiree, there will be cars racing around and around and around right here in River City!
I know, I never write about sports. I don't care about sports. Not even the few I enjoy watching grip me enough to seek them out on the television dial (for the record, those would be figure skating, beach volleyball, and surfing, the professional wrestling doesn't count because even though they are definitely athletes, it's not really a sport and I only watch because of muscular men in tights), so why would I get excited about this Indy-style racing coming to Edmonton?
Well, I'm not really. I would be though if they mixed things up a little at the venue. The race will take place at the Edmonton Municiple Airport. Oh, the potential! Cars driving around very fast in circles, trying to avoid airplanes that are taking off and landing! THAT would be something to see, my friends! That's a ticket I would buy! Car versus airplane, man against machine against machine! Granted I would be very sad if someone got hurt or died, but damn, without airplanes it's just cars speedily driving around in endless circles in an area set aside just for the racing. That's not exciting at all.
