Indianapolis 500 Pole Day May 12, 2007 |
|
|
After 2 years
of rainy pole days, we finally got a good one.
This year was special because the Pace Car was, again,
Corvette. But this time IMS was able to offer
festival cars that matched the Corvette Pace Car because
GM is selling 500 replicas to the general public.
The kids love them and we had a great day. |
|
|
|
|
(what is Pole
Day? It's the first day of qualifications for the Indianapolis
500. And it's the day the "Pole Position" is decided) |
|
|
|
Taking
pictures right away. Each kid brought their
camera. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
While we were
checking out the Festival cars, once of the "VIP's"
offered us a chance to take pictures of the family in
and around Festival car #57. Of course we jumped
at the chance! |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Each kid got
a Pace Car Pin and one other souvenir. But Alex
also loved the hat (I let him wear it "first") |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Max carefully
angles his picture of one of the actual, track-ready,
Corvette Pace cars. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Face
painting! Max got a "Festival Car with a flag and
flames on it" |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
More than
Corvette Pace cars there? Oh yeah, the
qualifications. We did that too! |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
We waited in
line for an hour and a half for the free Pace Car Pins.
Limited edition of 3000. I did not have high
hopes that everyone could wait that long, but the kids
were great and we had fun. |
