2017 Indy 500-- Part 26: Walking Around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

SATURDAY, MAY 27

Paul made one of his special breakfasts.

We could overhear the pa at the track announcing the names of the drivers.  Helio and Hinchcliffe, my favorite, got huge cheers.  Also Tony Kanaan, Fernando Alonso, an Indy car rookie who normally drives F-1.  Ed Carpenter, local favorite.  and Scott Dixon.  I am getting to know the racers now that I have been here several times.

An RV Black Water waste disposal unit came through the Legion grounds.  Yesterday they were charging $35 to clean out that, but today $45.  In case you're interested, call 800-909-5646 for sanitation to get rid of that pesky black water.

saw an ad for 105.7 Soft Rock station.

It cost $10 to get into the track today.  This is a big walking day.  It's walk, walk, walk and then walk some more.  We walked along every street in Gasoline Alley and then on to the museum.  We didn't go in, but like to check out the store where they sell things for cheap.  Believe me, the IMS makes a whole lot of money on their trinkets for this race.  Nothing cheap.

And, it was a very hot day.  My feet were sore so I tried to sit in Founders' Circle, but it was too hot.  Finally found some shade in the Pagoda Plaza.Saw lots of Cubs shirts since they won the World Series last year.
