Attention Racing Fans!
Do you like fast cars? Do you like turning left? Then you’re in luck. This weekend, we’re going to see how just how bananas the Tumblr community gets when confronted with a real live sporting event, in real live time, in reality. We’re talking of course about the Indianapolis 500, a.k.a. the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. The main race begins Sunday at noon Indy time, and even if you didn’t make it to the 7:30am opening of the Snake Pit, we want to see your Indy posts on Tumblr.
From now through the checkered flag and beyond, tag your Indy 500-related posts with #indy500. Don’t care about racing or prefer turning rightwards? Post your opinions anyway. We believe in democracy! Track the tag now to follow the buildup to race day!
