Buy a Pit Pass and spend your time there, you'll be astounded with what is back there.

I have not been for 5 years. When we went, on the Sunday of the big race we would go out to one of the back pylons and watch the race. It is off airport grounds. You have to drive thru a neighborhood to get to it but well worth it. To see the big unlimiteds rounding the pylon and see the stress on the wings and structure is incredable. Ask around how to get out their someone will know.

Without! But there are some bombshell girls, still trying to figure out if they are real or not.

Are you trying to figure out if the girls are real or the bombshell label is for real! Everyone be safe and have fun. Good luck in the C-170 bracket! :lol:

Ol' Gar has spent considerable time down in old "Nawlin's", especially 'round the French Qtr, and he has "ekspeariense" with the "not real" ones. (He married a real one tho', so be careful not to let his stories belie his preferences.)

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)
