Speeding Through Indianapolis

Racing Hall of Fame
In 2012, I had the chance to do what I always wanted to do - take a cross-country roadtrip!  One of the "pinstops" on our journey took us to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in of course, Indianapolis, Indiana.  Now, I'm not a big racing fan, and I really don't know much about the sport - but who has not heard of the Indy 500?  If you're going to drive through this city, then you have to checkout the place where The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is held every year, right?

So with a few hours to visit, we found our way to the Speedway by driving into a tunnel that went under the track and into the center area where the Racing Hall of Fame building can be found.  For a small entrance fee (only $5!), you can enter the museum and take a gander at an incredible display of over 70 vehicles ranging from concept cars to special Formula One cars to past Indianapolis 500 winners - including the very first Indy 500 winner from 1911!
