while watching the 500 today it reminds me of this crossing the bricks in a car my own two hands rebuilt. definitely a bucket list item i never thought i would do
I didn't even remember that it was being held today. Used to go to the practice days every year and Shell provided us with pit passes and lunch in their skybox.
So did you drive your car over those bricks? How did yo get to do that? Still one of my favorites...the wagon that is.
yes in 20111 the hot rod power tour stopped at indy. one of the perks was you got to drive the roadcourse and part of the oval including the front stretch and across the bricks thank you
Your welcome. That must have been a blast. The hot rod power tour would have had it's pleasant moments but the drive over those bricks would have been the best. What other cool places have you been to with your wagon?
tail of the dragon, this group here helped me to win photo of the week on the dragon which is my avatar pic, GM heritage collection in Detroit and greenfield village. skyline drive , autotrain back to fla, for 4 or 5 yrs i did the power tour in this car till 2013 when it got hit in the hotel parking lot the morning of the tour. from fla to new jersey, fl to Detroit, fl to texas. But my favorite trips were when my daughter was about 4. her mother would let her sit up front and she would say daddy catch the big truck up there , so with mom sleeping in the backseat we would catch up and she would start pumping her little arm up and down in the window. 9 out of 10 times the trucker would blow his horn and she would start laughing and giggling. the simple things that impress kids is amusing especially before cell phones were so important
Deals Gap? 318 curves in 11 miles? That 60 miles from me, if so. As long as you stay in your lane and give the sport bikes plenty of room, all is good. My grandsons do that now - I guess some things never go away! I can;t wait to teach my granddaughter that, when she is old enough to comprehend!
That started clear back in the steam engine days. It simulates the engineer pulling the cord on the steam whistle. I got to drive an inter-urban train when I was a youngster and blow the horn at various RR crossings.
as i was heading to the dragon my power steering blew out so it was quite a workout considering i ditched the factory steering wheel for a little blue metalflake wheel. my arms hurt so bad that evening my adult beverages were enjoyed thru a straw. after the dragon i did the cherahola skyway down to moonshiners 28 where i drove under the waterfall
