Indianapolis Motor Speedway: A reason to visit!

    by BoneDoctor
    There are three 'main' races per year here, the Formula 1, Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400.

    Even if you're not a racing fan, this is a unique experience, and is reason enough to visit!

    The Formula 1 race is an international event, and thousands of European and South American fans attend. This normally sedate midwestern town becomes a hot, trendy international destination for a week around the F1! There is a tremendous amount of pagentry associated with the event, and various car clubs show antique cars in town before the race (I saw dozens of old Jaguars parked around War Memorial Circle).

    The race is hard to follow for a neophyte like me, but the sheer size of the track, speed of the cars, and vast numbers of fans in attendance, with national flags, songs, and energy make this an outstanding event.

    See the travelogue page for more pictures.

    Take your camera, with a full digital card, because the museum is cool. There are dozens of cars in here, from the first winner of the Indianapolis 500, origianl Harley Davidson cycles, classic cars and race history. You really get to see how the sport has changed over the years, and how our technology just keeps improving. If you're a race fan - euphoria. If you're not, you will be when you're here.

    When visiting the Indianapolis Speedway, take the bus out to the track. Granted, a bus isn't as heartpounding as racing, alone around the track, but you get an idea of how the driver's must feel. The bus takes you past the last remianing strip of brick pavement in the "Brick Yard" and past the winner's circle. It's affordable, and I think fans of all ages will enjoy.

    You can have your picture taken inside a winning race car. You can use your own camera or have it taken for you for a small charge.

    Inside the track is the Hall of Fame Museum. Here you can see the legends of the Brickyard and get on a bus that takes you on to the track itself

  • The most famous racing track in the world. Visitors can come all year long. There is a museum with the history of the track. Now Formula 1 racing, and the Brickyard 400 are held there.

  • NASCAR came to Indy and it has been a huge success. The Brickyard 400 has become one of the top two events on the NASCAR schedule (only second to the Daytona 500). There's plenty going on in town in the weekor so before the race.

    The largest sporting even in the world, and what most people aroudnthe world associate with Indianapolis. If you don't have tickets for the reace, there is plenty to do inthe month of May leading up to the race. Check out qualifications on Pole Day, Saturday of the weekend before the race.
