Indy 550

06.08.13

This is the first time for Brent and I to see Indy cars racing.  We noticed the crowd is totally different from the Nascar crowd.  We saw a lot of males wearing preppy clothes and loafers.

We were able to walk anywhere because of our VIP passes and we happen to walk up to a car at the same time as a private sponsors tour.  I was handed an autograph picture of E.J. Viso and then it looked like a girl that was leading the group told the guy that we were not part of the tour.

A stranger offered to take a picture of us in front of the boy scouts car.

Then, another stranger told us that we could get our picture taken at the winner's circle.

Mr. Dean is the father of two girls that was on the drill team with me and he happened to do the flyover today before the race began.

These cars are so fast!  We timed the Go Daddy car and it went around the 1.5 mile track in 26 seconds!!!

As we passed by the concession stand, I noticed something a bit odd...bacon cotton candy!  Sounds yucky to me but a girl eating some told me it was good.

The race started after 7pm and ended before 10pm and there was a fireworks show but we missed it due to talking to people we had met in the condo from Bullard.  It had ended by the time we figured out what the noise was outside the condo.  I was so bummed because I love fireworks!  Oh well, we had a great time and we want to thank Kiki and Pops for watching Beck and Kinsey!
