Day 88

Before departing Indianapolis I just had to call the Speedway to see if there might be any tours on the day after the Brickyard 400 race. What luck, tours beginning at 11 am. We head over in the coach and find lots of parking lots and all virtually empty so plenty of room for the coach. We visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and Hall of Fame and get our bus tour tickets. The museum has a racing car that one can enter and take photos. Next to the car is a sign warning that it is easier to get in the car than to get out. The sign wasn’t kidding but I managed it on my own. When seated, one is almost lying down. I imagine if I had to drive hundreds of miles in that position, I would probably never be able to get out.  Old age, rats! Once on the bus we are delayed by some VIP’s racing around the track in the pace car. After a ½ hour we are off, running around the track and stopping at the finish line to take photos and for some crazies, to kiss the bricks (see photo). After lunch, we depart for Cincinnati and arrive at the Family Motor Coach Association campground. The campground is well kept and quiet with full hookups.  FMCA has its headquarters in Cincinnati and members can stay 2 nights at its campground for free.  What a deal!
