Our visit to Indianapolis - July 2009
By the time our plane landed and we snagged our rental car, we met Terry and Rhonda McMillen at our hotel just in time to make our dinner reservations at St. Elmo's in downtown Indianapolis. After a wonderful dinner, we headed over to the indoor go-karting track. Terry, Duane, Alesi and Ayrton looked like they had a blast and afterwards they commented on how they could catch up with Alesi in the corner's, but she would pull away in the straights....she quickly replied something like, "I can drive straight"! Guess she's a drag racer. The following day we attended the Lyn St. James Women in the Winner's Circle awards ceremony at the Plaza Village Pavilion at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Later that evening we headed over to Brownsburg, Indiana to drive by the race shops and came back by O'Reilly Raceway Park. We also toured the King Tut exhibit, but most of all enjoyed the nice, cool weather!!!
