Gentlemen, Start Your Engines ----->>>>>







What a day.

Started early and went through Columbus. Not much to see. A generic drive-thru town.

Arrived at the Indy KOA for lunch and off we went to visit the Speedway and the city.

Our trusty GPS promptly brought us to the Indianapolis SpeedDrome. Largest Figure 8 Track in the USA>>>>therefore, The World !!





Reprogrammed it and it brought us downtown, at the Indianapolis Art Center. Asked the Conci
erge at the Marriott. He sent us directly to the Speedway.
It is NOT in Indianapolis, but in Speedway, Indiana. You take 16th Street through the most decrepit part of town. Massage Parlors, Tattoo joints, etc. Finally, after 6 miles of urban decay, there it is.


There is a golf course. 12 holes on the Eastern side of the track, 6 holes inside. They would not let us in the museum with the dogs. I wandered around and ended up in a restricted area. Took a bunch of pics that would not be available to the general public. Asked if we could take the tour with the dogs. The driver asked his boss. She ok’d it. This was the FIRST time that any dog, except service animals, have ever been on the bus.

We took a full lap around the track…………WOW !!!!!!! We stopped at the Start/Finish line.

WOW<>

On the way home, stopped at the White Castle and picked up a Bag of Burgers. 10 Sliders for 9 bucks. Including Fries. They were, by far, the worst burgers ever made by anyone. Unbelievable --- why Harold and Kumar ever wanted to go there is beyond me.

Tomorrow, St. Louis. See Ya!!
