Community Day 2009!!! Indy 500 Track!!!!

This last Wenesday was the 2009 Community Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! We went again this year, just as we have the past 2. The only difference this year was Greg not being there due to work obligations. I also got to be the one to pilot the van around the racetrack, which was very cool driving on the banked turns!! Aside from the overpriced food and the sunburns, the day was a great success!


Here's Garrett in front of TK's car!!

Here's the kiddos in front of Team Target!!

These banners with drivers were new this year outside the garage area!

Grandpa and Garrett were discussing the pitman's technique on the repair...

Helio's car in the garage.....

This pic was for Grandpa. There was a Smartcar club with a zillion cars that showed up for the festivities!!!

He's holding a real Indycar steering wheel.....

Sadly, I think Garrett may meet height requirements to be an Indycar driver....

He's so the dude!!!
