We can't believe Indycar testing is over already!
We just got back from Pocono, where we had special access to the pits, media center, and the garages!
Kevin Heaney
for the personal tour.
It was the best day ever!!
What we learned.
* Lots of drivers and teams ride scooters everywhere.
* The cars are really, really loud when you're right next to them...
and they're even louder when they squeal and smoke their tires pulling out of the pits.
* All the drivers and team members go to their trailers for lunch AND,
* You get to see almost all the drivers, if you get your 'tour guide' to let you stand in the garage area long enough.
* Mario hangs out on Marcos pit box, to make sure he is getting the fastest time.
* There are pace cars sitting in the garages all ready for race day.
* Victory Lane is really cool. Who will be here Sunday afternoon?
* They have lots of extra nose cones and new Firestone tires by the pits.
* Team members hold umbrellas over the drivers in the cars when it's hot.
And the number one thing that we learned today was that Indycar race control does not allow kids to lean over the pit wall, (we got our tour guide in trouble for allowing us to do that.)
Sorry Kevin.
Indycars at Pocono are amazing!
Be there Saturday for qualifying and Sunday for raceday! We will be!!!
