Nearly 50 PRI Trade Show goers got the experience of a lifetime Wednesday at PRI's Day At The Speedway tour of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Guests took a morning shuttle from the Indiana Convention Center to IMS, and upon arrival enjoyed a lap around the famous 2.5-mile oval on comfortable tour buses. "It was fascinating. It brings back a lot of memories, and there have been a lot of changes since I was last here in 1981," said Danny Redkey of Eddie Sachs Racing in Mount Clemens, Michigan. "I'm quite amazed at what they have here, and the memories are terrific."
During their lap, buses stopped at the iconic Yard of Bricks, allowing all aboard to walk on the track and kiss the bricks at the start/finish line. Afterward, attendees took their place on Victory Podium, toured suites in the Pagoda, drove through Gasoline Alley, and more.
"Kissing the bricks, I never thought I'd get a chance to do that, but I did today," Redkey added. "I took pictures in Victory Circle, and in 2016 I intend to be there with my driver."
Guests also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Union Jacks, then headed back to the track to experience some incredible racing history in the IMS Hall of Fame Museum.
"I thought the tour was run really well. The track was unbelievable, and just being able to stand in those certain places was amazing," said Rick Osburn from Appomattax, Virginia.
