gold 101 disabled...

'Tis a sad day in indy my friends, the venerable gold racer is DOA right in front of the hotel.

Can you believe this car gets if 942 miles from the start, exactly at the finish line and the battery dies?! Unreal.

Some local saviour who is actually in the race is taking him down to the autopart store to pick up not one, but two, new batteries. After all, why get one when you can get two?
