Stuff to do at the IMS

If you have extra time while attending this year's Indy 500, make it a point to visit the Indianapolis Museum on the grounds of the Motor Speedway. 
The museum is open on race day, so if you get to the track early, you can pop in and visit the museum before the race.
They have the old winning cars lined up by year, so you can see all your favorites.

One of our mom's favorites.  Bobby Unser's first win in 1968.

They also give track tours (in a bus) when the track is not in use.  So if you're around at the right time you may get to take a ride around the track.

Other stuff to do at the track on race weekend.

Friday is Carb Day, which is the drivers final practice time.  Plus there's the Indy Lights Freedom 100 race and the pit stop competition after that, and then a music concert, so there's lots to see and do for a full day  at the track.

Saturday is Legends Day.  There's a roadsters lap led by 1963 winner Parnelli Jones, an autograph signing session with all 33 drivers, there's a vintage sprint and midget car display and a memorabilia show, plus the annual Public Drivers Meeting.

Plus there's a free Kids Zone open most days with music, dancing, games and prizes! (We'll be checking that out.)
