Indianapolis, Indiana is one city you can view from
your hotel window. The whole city can literally
be fit in the palm of your hand.
Although small the people have the biggest heart in America.
You can see the whole town in just a few days but
you cannot taste all the differences in town in just that short time. This town is an active town filled with
sports. From football to basketball the
town vibe is one filled with activity. Act
lively you are part of something bigger here even the children love there
sports.
Don’t
walk run to the nearest event. The Indianapolis
500 held in May is the car event of the year. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Hall of Fame Museum is a walk through a time machine. The original Hall of Fame Museum opened in
1956. There are approximately 75 vehicles
on display at one time. There are more
than 30 winning cars from the Indianapolis 500 throughout the years. Some cars on display are:- The four cars driven to victory by A.J. Foyt Jr.,
including his 1977 machine that represents his record-setting fourth Indy
500 win.
- The Duesenberg #12 Murphy Special, the only car ever
to win both the Indianapolis 500 (1922) and the French Grand
Prix at Le Mans (1921).
- Dave Evans' #8 Cummins Diesel Special, the first car
to complete the Indy 500 without a pit stop in 1931.
- The 1965 Le Mans-winning Ferrari 250 LM.
- A 1954/55 Mercedes-Benz Formula One car.
- A 1957 SSI Corvette.
- A 1998 Stewart-Ford SF-2 Formula One car.
- A rare 1935 Duesenberg Model JN four-door
convertible passenger car, of which only three were built.
- An equally rare 1925 McFarlan TV6 passenger
roadster.
The people are some of the friendliest I have met and I am comparing them
to the Canadians who have always had my heart.
So be warned do not come with an attitude as you will not be welcome.
They may be friendly but they do have pride.
Pride you will experience in your walk about town. But for now I will just leave you with this
thought….”Indianapolis the biggest little small town in America.”
