The Indianapolis 500 Museum

February 9, 2008

We'll meet in the parking lot at the Museum at 11am or before, take a tour of the 500 museum and browse the gift shop, cost to the museum is 3.00 and then take a trip around the track in a tour bus, cost for this is 3.00 as well, (weather permitting) you can find more information on the history of the 500 and the museum itself and directions here

http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/museum/

please allow at least a couple hours for the museum tour, bring your camera's as there will plenty of photo ops, you can have your picture taken sitting in a race car , or have them take it for you, cost is 5 bucks I think, if you have them do it. There is a twenty minute film to be seen, on the history of the track, some race clips etc included in this.

Afterwards we will "cruise" north to 38th St to TGI Fridays for lunch, right now they are having a three course dinner special at discounted prices, the food at TGI Fridays is pretty tasty, you can find out more about them here http://www.fridays.com Sound like fun and informative, sign up right here! Hope to see you there!

I copied this over to the Ohio site. maybe we can get some more. I'm up in the air right now. I'd need 2 hotel rooms for an overnighter. It's 5 hours one way for me and I don't wanna drive 10 hours in one day with 3 teenagers in the truck.

This sounds like a GREAT Gtg - you just need to move it about 200 miles closer....

Didit · « **Reply #8 on:** January 16, 2008, 06:55:09 PM »

400 miles in one day is doable, we've done it several times going to Michigan for GTG's

Unfortunately I work from 3am to 11am on Saturdays, and that's when you are all meeting. If I get on the road by noon -373+miles, I'd be there at 7pm or so - just in time to go to bed & get up to leave on sunday.

I'll have to see if I can get of work, but I don't see that happening. Their not happy with me right now since I've been missing work taking my daughter to Dr. appts/hospital stays. Work can sure get in the way of having fun...

Heck, I go 500 miles to TN GTG's quite often!

Crap! I've been there and it is awsome!!!
Unfortunatly, an 800 mile road trip is still out of the question for me right now.

Main One · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2008, 09:32:45 AM »

Pending discussion with the boss at home, I'm a definite most likely for this gtg. I think she would enjoy it. I know she enjoyed our day at the track during practice 2 Fridays before the race last year.

Didit · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:33:42 PM »

Attached is a photo that a good friend of mine received of the track in winter time! Who knows it could look like this for the upcoming GTG!!

Main One, hope all is well with you guys down that way, I see where the storm kinda did some damage down your way! Prayers with those further south and to the west that were not so fortunate.

Didit

justJR · « **Reply #29 on:** February 07, 2008, 06:20:30 AM »

Been watching the news here as well. Thoughts and prayers to all in the south.

boilers94 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 07, 2008, 06:44:12 AM »

Hope all members here are well and hopefully were not affected! Our thoughts and prayers will be with those in the area who were!

Didit · « **Reply #31 on:** February 07, 2008, 05:29:00 PM »

Due to varying things that have come up with different members, this event has been rescheduled to the 23rd of February, the itinerary and times will remain the same, hoping to accomodate those that had to back out for one reason or another, thanks for your understanding.

Mike

Mick would you please update the title thread with the corrected date please, thanks
