I was at the Crossroads Hy-Vee Friday morning to talk about their Indianapolis 500 Show car, as it was THERE, on the premisis, for all to see!
I’ve never been so close to and Indy car! I noticed right away, the cockpit is very tight. I’m much wider, have more girth than what that allows, so if I was allowed to sit in it (I wasn’t), I would have to have a couple big guys push me down by my shouders until I dropped in with a *POP*. Of course then, the real feat would be trying to get me back out again. Probably need a crane and a makeshift shoe horn to *POP* me back out.
I never realized that there were control on the steering wheel, itself. It’s like a game console controler for Indy races!
Hy-Vee sponsors that car, as well as others like Mountain Dew. We had a BUNCH of FREE cans of Mt. Dew – Zero and snack bags of Frito Lay Cheetos to hand out until they were gone. Hope you were able to stop by and get some of that! Since I’m trying to cut out sugar as much as possible, the Mt. Dew – Zero helps fulfil my soda habit.
All around, a great remote broadcast and a lot of fun with Ben and the crew at Crossroads Hy-Vee and my team-mates Destiny and Shawn.
