I had rushed out of the house today, eager to get to the Saturday start at the Scholars Inn Bakehouse for noon today.  The weather was surprisingly warm, 56 degrees as I cycled by the time and temperature sign on the north side of downtown today.   I wasn’t sure what sort of turnout we would have today because the racing season has just begun, but it’s still like a delicate bulb just sticking up out of the soil.  Hopeful.  Full of promise.  

It was cold today.  I had earlier visited the Little 500 track with the temps hovering in the high 20s and a smattering of young men going through the paces, some on long sets, others on exchanges and others doing fast single laps.  A few of them would make it out to the inaugural 2013 Wednesday Worlds tonight on Knightridge and 446.
