2018 Indy 500

[dmw56]

Received our 102nd running of the Indy 500 ticket/tour package today! I'm really excited. I can remember listening to the Indy 500 on AM radio as far back as 1966-67. I'm taking this one out of the bucket boys! I'll have tons of pictures to post for sure. One week to go!!

Enjoy the spectacle.....

Went there many years ago and sat in the infield, couldn't see a darn thing. Back then they didn't sell beer on Sunday, talk about a crappy day!

Some of the rooms are in renovated train cars.

We went to Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) the day before the race for Legends day, Drivers meeting and other activities. The best part for me was the IMS museum. They were featuring the Unsers which is kind of cool because they are from Albuqueruqe too! Some of the cars I've see before at the museum here but I didn't mind seeing them here.

















They also had many of the past winning cars there.

Race Day! We always do race tours for these big races and let them do the driving! We even had a police escort to the parking area. Took about 20 minutesfrom our hotel to get there blowing throw red lights and going down the left lane!


Only thing we parked at Turn 1 and I picked seats on Turn 4 so it was a mile hike to our seats.




At least we got to see Santa and some Elves on the way and lots of other interesting sites!

 

[Old Iron]

Dang, police escort?? they treated you like royalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
