Day 9 - The sounds of Indy

After waking up this morning and packing up the bikes, we realized we didn't have a tent to camp with. Jeremy offered us the pull out for another night, and we gladly accepted.

So we unloaded everything we didn't need so we'd have room for our gear in the saddlebags and headed to a laundromat. With the addition of three days of travel, we needed some clean clothes. We ate some breakfast at White Castle while we waited for the clothes to dry, then headed to the track.

Jeremy had given us directions to the free bike parking, but we had no idea we'd be parking where the Indy cars race!! We got to park on the back straight of the oval!! Super awesome, and so many bikes! It was like a bike show just trying to walk in, lol!!

GP practice was just wrapping up as we got to the track. So we walked around the vendor areas and met up with friends. We just missed Elena at the Suzuki tent, so we took note to show up tomorrow at 11.

We spent the day walking around checking out the vendors and running into friends. It was quite a blast. Watching qualifying was pretty cool too, although there were a number of crashes. We even got to walk down put lane at the end of the day which was pretty awesome.

We ended the day at White Castle with friends who hadn't been yet. Dinner of champions, lol. By the time we got home at 9pm, we were pooped!! Showered up, and watched some GP recap action on TV. Then passed out, excited for the racing action tomorrow!!
