For no other reason than, well, it gives me something to do, I thought I'd put a few pics of my Indy F1 race trip up as I go.

Off we go:

Our private Lear Jet lol.
While I knew it was going to be a smaller, private type flight than a mondo air bus, I wasn't expecting a little 40 person puddle jumper from Florida to Indiana:

Hey look at that, you pass right over the track when flying in to Indianapolis:

Boy they are pushing it hard, right after you get off the plane the ads start in the terminal:

Went for a more interesting rental ride than the econo-box (07 Dodge Charger):

Biscuit's and gravy, BBQ, and fried green tomatoes, you have to be kidding me. I thought I left the South yesterday!

I wasn't kidding, they really had fried green tomatoes. Sliced, dipped, and fried right in front of me.

WTF is wrong with this picture?
Yes, there really is a ChampCar tent here at Indy. You could pick my jaw up off the ground, the acrimony involved between these 2 camps could poison small countries.

I'd say somebody tell Stibling about this, but I know he's here somewhere.

I KNOW there's a racetrack around here somewhere ...

.

So I came from the "World Center of Racing" (hometrack). Now I'm at the "Racing Capital of the World".
Uh huh.

Tommy .. did you get a haircut/dye? Your hair looks 'browner' in your knee-dragger pic.

You travel to races with a grid-girl Tommy?

This, folks, is a smart man. ;)

LMFAO!!! You know i will find that tomorrow. And i will be a helluva lot better looking than the chubso'd in that pick. They disgraced a perfectly nice racecar :P

My gosh, by the patrons you would think you were in Wisconsin.

Well Bill, if you've noticed by my recent race results, I've finally grown a pair.
Problem is, the pair that I grew ended up being in the wrong place.
