Long past the scheduled start of the race, the skies still are angry and the wind is whipping up. From the Horde appears a era Comfort straight from the bottle. She is a speech therapist from Cincinnati, Ohio, and she announces somewhat astonishingly that the center? The Horde pushes against the fence while a helicopter flies overhead.

The Horde cheers its collective lung out for the critter to make it to safety which it didn't.

Vasubeo Panbya, a native Indian (from Delhi, India) living at Chicago, offers that the race is not quite like the colorful Holi festivals he remembers from his pre-Amerl-can years.

She giggles and calls out for more beer the liquid common denominator of the Horde. NEAR THE southeast turn, people are walking over their cars, perching atop the bigger vehicles in an attempt to see more of whatever it is they're looking for or at. Drink, drink, drink.

More beer cans, wine bottles and A DISEMBODIED voice comes through one of the many loudspeakers that ring the infield: "I've got windshield wipers on my glasses." The Voice reverberates, echoes off the Horde. There's a line from a rock song that goes, "Everybody's in show biz; everybody's a star." It's especially applicable to the Horde. The infield people scream answers to questions not asked, demand that you take their pictures or simply pose and wait. There was a lot waiting yesterday. DOOM.
