Some more places to go in the Corvette
Still having fun
The tenth year - 2010 Activities
In May of 2009, I learned that our local dealer participated in the Chevrolet Dealer Corvette and Camaro Customer Appreciation Day held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the day before the Indianapolis 500. I made sure that I was on the invitation list for the May 29, 2010 event. For reasons identified below, Judy chose not to go. However, grandson Kyle was much easier to convince.
Above - That is our white car, halfway back in the middle row.
Above - Shined up and ready.
Above - Following a red C-5.
Above - Kyle found one he liked. Not a Corvette, but not bad.
Above - Since the event started at the dealership, we had a caravan to the Speedway. Kyle did some great pictures.
Above - Not just any caravan, but one with multiple police escorts. Here is a sheriff doing a high speed hopscotch.
Above - Just tryin' to keep up..........
Above - Then, we got to play Dario on the Speedway, but I think he goes a little faster. We entered on the middle of the backstretch, this is turn 3.
Above - The yard of bricks at the finish line, Kyle timed the shot perfectly. And look, the backstretch traffic jam has cleared. Turns 1 and 2 were really fun.
Above - Chevrolet introduced us to Robin Roberts, the Camaro Pace Car driver.
Above - And speaking of the Pace Car, here it is; and look, who are those handsome gentleman finishing off their barbeques and listening to the speakers?
Above - After dinner, a look at the outdoor displays, then a complimentary tour of the Speedway Museum.
Above - At the end of the day, what did Kyle think? Let's ask him......
