Did you also visit the museum at the track?

That's awesome! Did you happen to drive down the Mulsanne or any other public parts of the track?

Yep. Back in the mid 90s I snuck into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at night and walked all the way around the track - it was amazing. The wind was blowing and the ghosts of races past could be heard.Tiffoc wrote:Michael!
When a circuit that's not in use and I visit it, I always find it has an eerie feel to it...
Even a gust of wind can sound like a ghostly 12 cylinder 'rounding the final bend, giving
me a tingling feeling on the back of the neck...

You need to make it for the race at least one time.
I achieved it for the first time in 1970 ( the year McQueen was there )
Since then I have been 35 times!

Re: I got to visit someplace special on Monday...
I definitely want to make it. Tempting to go this year as one of my favorite bands is playing there this year (Franz Ferdinand). But I've got too much going on this year to try to squeeze it in on this short notice. But I'll get there!
