Going to the U.S. Nationals!


Recommended Posts

I forgot to ask, what was in the Special Display area behind the grandstands ???

There were all kinds of things. MSD, Mac, and Ford and Harley Davidson had the best displays there.

I'm dreading uploading pictures. Our connection is terrible, and they're getting uploaded to Facebook before Photobucket because Photobucket uploads sooooooooooo slow.

Actually, I was thinking of the West grandstands. The last few years thy have had a bunch of old race cars and/or rods. For the 50th US Nats they had 50 past winners, another year they had almost as many old Gassers. Can't wait to see your pics, if anyone is interested here are links to my pics from past years.

Sorry about that Ron.

Yup, they had the Slingshots are over one the west side. There were booths for Moroso, Holley, and plenty others I can't remember. I did get to see a cut open torque converter-I had some trouble figuring them out but not any more :) And I saw a 57 Chevy gasser that I saw when we were heading out. But since that was as soon as the crash happened, we were in too big of a hurry to get pictures.

Last time I was at Indy was 1985. Been to the Gators from 1986-97 and then 98, 2000, 01, and a few years after that. Now, I work the entire weekend of Indy.

Hey, I also was at Indy last time in 1985. Albeit to watch cars which turned left after the straight.
